Sedona AZ (June 30, 2016) – The 3rd Annual Canned Sedona, to be held October 2, 2015 at Tlaquepaque, is a cooking competition based on “Chopped”, a television series featured on the Food Network. Charities will be represented by local Amateur Chefs who will compete in a cook-off equipped with a barbeque grill and a basket of mystery ingredients. Entertainment, wine tasting, and food will be offered for the attendee’s enjoyment. Last year’s Canned was a great success this year will be bigger and better than the last.
The organizing committee is pleased to announce the 4 charities that will benefit from the event. They are Angie’s House, the #1 homeless shelter in the Verde Valley; Red Rose Inspiration for Animals, a local animal rescue that provides assistance to the community, their pets and homeless animals: The Sedona Chamber Ballet, showcasing world class dance in Northern Arizona and Sedona Verde Valley Pride, an organization dedicated to celebrating diversity of the LGBTQ Community while supporting and educating Sedona and the Verde Valley. These charities will exhibit at the event to promote their organization and based on their donations, receive event proceeds. Canned Sedona requires that all proceeds received by the charity stay in the Verde Valley and be used for one of the above purposes.
We are equally please to announce that applications are also being accepted from local Amateur Chefs for the competition. If you’ve dreamed of hearing those words’ “Chefs, open your baskets”, now is the time to step forward and show the community what you’ve got. There will be one elimination round. prior to the event, to narrow the field to the Chef finalists. Each Chef will be assigned a charity that they will represent.
Admission is a canned food item for the Yavapai Food Council plus a small donation. The attendee gets to choose which charity their admission donation goes to. The winning chef will receive bragging rights and a gift basket full of goodies!
