Chefs Celebration 2013: Save the date!
6th biennial Chefs Celebration is scheduled for Saturday, October 5, 2013 at the Oxford Community Arts Center from 7-11 p.m.
The chairs of Chefs Celebration 2013, Dr. Kevin and Kristi Campbell, invite you to join them for the October 5th hospital fundraiser. A "taste of something new" is guiding this year's fundraiser and presents many new aspects to the ever-popular event. This year features a new date, a new venue, and a new focus on fine dining, enhanced by the fine arts. Along with these new features, the most exciting addition to this year's Chefs Celebration will be the artistic dining experience designed by Chef Paul Sturkey and his friends. Cincinnati based Master Chef Paul Sturkey is designing a special menu presented by a group of eight of his chef friends and peers, all of whom are artists with food! Their artistic menu offerings will be paired with fine wines to complete the tasteful experience. Chef stations will be located throughout the venue for each guest to indulge in a wide variety of artistic tasting.
The Oxford Community Arts Center, the local home for the arts, will host the Chefs Celebration this year. The event will feature artwork created by local and surrounding artists for viewing, as well as music for attendees to enjoy while tasting food and wine selections from local gourmet chefs. Chefs Celebration, held every other year since 2003, is a physician-inspired event to build awareness and financial support for the Hospital TRUST, and to purchase much-needed equipment for the hospital. This year's proceeds will purchase a critical care bed for ICU, a birthing bed for OB, and rehabilitation equipment for Physical Therapy. Local community members are welcome and invited to attend.
