Hundreds joined us for an event that benefitted Ball-Chatham schools, featuring a competition between top chefs in our community. Attendees enjoyed the culinary delights prepared by each of our Iron Chefs, including those from: Indigo Cuisine, 5flavors Catering, Copper Pot Cooking Studio, Joseph's Fine Cuisine, Nu-Voh at the Saint Nicholas and Crowne Plaza Springfield - Convention Center. The evening also included silent and live auctions, featuring an amazing collection of packages and experiences.
