Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

On October 3rd a dream-team of talent descends on the sleepy hamlet of Mill Bay to stage a spectacular show on a floating barge. However, if you think fireworks are the main event of this show, you’d be quite mistaken. The show, called “Sip, Savour & Support” is a culinary one, specifically a gala “long table” dinner event that serves as the wind up to the “Savour Cowichan Festival”, an annual 10-day affair that celebrates the Cowichan Valley’s vast cornucopia of locally grown and produced food and drink.
There will be a four-course gourmet dinner prepared by celebrity chefs and guests will have a chance to bid on unique auction items while being entertained by the live sounds of one of Vancouver’s finest dance bands, The Famous Players Band
James Walt, Executive Chef at Araxi Restaurant + Oyster Bar in Whistler won’t divulge exactly what the culinary dream team is cooking up for the evening, but sums it up like this, “With the amazing supply of locally produced food and award-winning wine, coupled with great culinary talent and entertainment, I expect it will be an unforgettable evening.”
If that’s not enough of an enticement, you might like to know that all proceeds from “Sip, Savour & Support” benefit the “Canucks Autism Network”, a non-profit organization that provides high quality programs for individuals and families living with autism in BC.
The bad news is that there are only 200 “Sip, Savour & Support” tickets available, which typically get snapped up early. From now until the end of August they are $175 each and from September onwards they are $200 each.
