So I know you were probably looking for my final post about my culinary adventures in New Orleans, but I wanted to take a minute to let you know about some upcoming culinary events that you should definitely put on your calendar.
Big Scoop Ice Cream Festival
supporting Ronald McDonald House
AutoZone Park (200 Union Avenue, Memphis)
Saturday, September 29, 2012 - 10:30 a.m.
$7 in advance, $10 at the door
Every year the Ronald McDonald House hosts the annual Big Scoop Ice Cream Festival, but this year, they're doing things a little differently. 2012 marks the first ever Homemade Ice Cream Contest. So if you've got a special family recipe, or you know the secret to amazing ice cream, then grab a team, pony up the $75.00 entry fee and bring your best stuff. Or, just attend the event and support a great cause.
The Ronald McDonald House provides temporary housing for the families of children undergoing cancer treatment at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
