Submission 04: The Potluck Pageant

 

Idea:

The Potluck Pageant by Mark Jeffery

Summary:

An event to disarm the overwhelm around eating healthy while creating community. Local business prepares and shares healthy food - you will eat well and leave inspired!

The Project:

• We're an event which empowers people in their diet! The event gives you the confidence to prepare simple recipes that you've tried and know you enjoy!
• We're creating community between local business with the audience who seeks their advice and expertise in eating well. 
• We want to have a fun night out without the bars! People try every dish and vote for their favourite recipe which will be crowned, Best in Show! A fun drag queen performance entertains after crowning a winner! Why not?
• You leave with a cook book containing the recipes you tried with the contact information of the business which prepared it so you may find them at a later date!

 

How the $1,000 will be spent:

We will use the $1000 to book a venue and cover some signage costs (the rest being sponsored by participants).

About:

I am passionate about creating fabulous juice bars/gathering places and to help cut the confusion around food. I want to enliven Calgary and to support individuals in their well being!
