This year, we selected local celebrities to be our Celebrity Sous Chefs. The celebrities are: Aaron Johnson, PH.D., Anthony Darby, Ashton Donoway, Dee Copeland, Gil Allen, J.D. Schroen, Jamie Gladden, Jenna Bowne and Mandy Gladden. The celebrities were paired with Chefs to see who could make whipped cream the fastest/most accurate. The video showcasing the fun is on www.chefsforhabitat.com along with a link to vote with your dollars on the best celebrity sous chef. The new Celebrity Sous Chef race presentation and winning results will be revealed at 7:30pm.
Entertainment will be provided by DJ Last Call, Zach Johnson.
The event will raise money to build homes for future Habitat homeowners. When the homes are finished, the homeowners will assume a 30 year, no interest mortgage from Habitat. The money Habitat raises in mortgages is invested in building more homes for new Habitat family partners.
