A note to last year’s Sponsors & Cooking Teams: If you had a team last year, please make sure to get your paperwork submitted to Mary ASAP to reserve your space before we open it up to new participants. This event sells out for teams every year and we have a waiting list of participants. If your business is not listed on the website, we do not have your form yet.
