Culinary Challenge to benefit Salt Fork Arts & Crafts Festival

CAMBRIDGE − Tasty treats await at the Culinary Challenge on Friday, June 21, at the Eagles Banquet Room.

There are four categories for those wishing to participate: barbeque, main dish, side dish and dessert. There is still time to enter and those wishing to do so can call Brenda Taylor at 740-584-0652.

Proceeds from the challenge will benefit the Salt Fork Arts & Crafts Festival. First place in each category will receive $200 and a trophy. Prize money has been provided by King Karpet & Swim Away, while the event is sponsored by Thorn Black Funeral home.

Matt Frampton, a singer/songwriter from Zanesville, will provide musical entertainment throughout the evening. His unique guitar playing, versatile voice, and large repertoire of songs make his performances very popular. He has released six volumes of original material.
