Celebrate 25 Years of Culinary Excellence at OCCI's Anniversary Event in Coos Bay

Southwestern Oregon Community College is preparing to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of its Oregon Coast Culinary Institute (OCCI). The event is scheduled for June 29, 2024, at the Bristol Event Center in Coos Bay, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. It aims to recognize the contributions of the OCCI to culinary education.

The celebration will include live music, ice carvings, and various food stations. Jazz singer Shaymus Hanlin will perform during the evening. There will also be a silent auction to raise funds for improving the institute's facilities and providing student scholarships. The event serves as both a celebration and a display of the skills developed by OCCI students over the years.

Tickets are $95 each, with a discounted rate of $50 for OCCI alumni. Tables for eight can be reserved for $700. It is important to note that seats must be reserved in advance.

The OCCI has evolved significantly since its inception, achieving recognition at events like the Culinary Olympics. This anniversary is an opportunity for alumni, students, and community members to reconnect and celebrate the institute's achievements.
