French flavours abound at upcoming Sip & Savour fundraiser

Qui n'aime pas Paris?
A lot of lights and a dash of love, that's Paris. On Thursday, Oct. 20, experience the sights, sounds and tastes of la Ville Lumière, including haute cuisine, various artworks, beautiful architecture, and chanson music. If you've never been to Paris before, or have and would like to relive your memories, be sure to buy your tickets for the “Cocktail Party of the Year!”
There are two ways to attend: a cocktail gathering at WaterStone Estate & Farms where Chef David and his team from Cibo Special Event Catering are serving an authentic French-tasting menu experience, including escargot, pâté and a Chateaubriand carving station. Dorio's Bakery is crafting a decadent dessert cart and Catered Creations by Ashlee is griddling sweet crepes on the spot. Hockley Valley Brewing Co. and Holland Marsh Winery are kindly providing something to sip. If you prefer to attend Sip & Savour from the comfort of your home, local delivery of a French-tasting menu prepared by La Bréhandaise Market, with a webcast presentation is also an option.
King Township Mayor Steve Pellegrini will once again serve as Honourary Chair, along with King Weekly Sentinel Editor Mark Pavilons as master of ceremonies.
“Sip & Savour is a wonderful opportunity to come together in support of the King Township Food Bank,” says Pellegrini. “I personally look forward to this event every year and am happy to support the King Township Food Bank and the good work that it does throughout the community.”
Similar to Paris's Champs-Élysées, our online marché features something for everyone – from golf outings and dining experiences to designer sunglasses and gift baskets. Whether you're shopping for yourself or someone else, the silent auction is a key component of the event's fundraising efforts, thanks to the dozens of businesses who have generously donated.
Many sponsors have also stepped in to support this year's Sip & Savour, contributing significant funds towards the food bank's cash budget of over $200,000. Currently, the food bank is serving over 350 people with registrations on the rise.
Tickets are $85 each for the in-person gathering at WaterStone Estate & Farms and $65 for the home delivery option. Tickets are available online at www.ktfb.ca.
