Join us to sample delicious and creative dishes from 20-30 local leaders competing for the title of Best Chef! While there, enjoy samples of local brews from Homer Hops and signature wine from Thirsty Owl. Eat, drink, and dance to groovy tunes courtesy of Tribal Revival!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>While this unique event raises fun, it also raises funds for Cortland County’s ONLY comprehensive domestic violence program, YWCA Cortland’s Aid to Victims of Violence (AVV). The event, held during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, highlights the incredible work of our AVV staff and the crucial need for their services, such as assisting clients in obtaining orders of protection and accompanying them to the hospital or courtroom. AVV offers both off-site emergency housing and permanent supportive housing at Grace Brown House, where women victims of domestic violence and their children can stay while they re-establish their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who will win the purple apron and take home the win? You decide!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Grab your tickets before 9\/25 for<\/span>\u00a0a discounted price of $50. After that, the price will increase to $55.<\/p>\n
