The Fifth Third Bank Souper Bowl VI benefiting the Davidson Housing Coalition’s HAMMERS program Saturday, February 6 from 11 am to 2 pm in the Lilly Family Gallery of Davidson College’s Chamber’s Building. Members of the public are invited to enjoy and judge soups from local restaurants and at the same time benefit the program that helps local residents with emergency repairs.
Nine local restaurants and one caterer will compete in several categories including “best chunky,” “best creamy,” “best vegetarian,” and “most creative soup.” Participating chefs include those from Armin’s Catering at Beaver Dam, Brickhouse Tavern, Creole House on Main, Campania Café, Jeffrey’s, Maddi’s Southern Bistro, Sabi Asian Bistro, Toast, Restaurant X, and XO Restaurant and Lounge. Bird & Bear Cookie Company will provide dessert.
Live entertainment includes Rusty Knox and Michael Orlando, the Delilah’s (a Davidson College a capella group), and Sands of Time. A silent auction features donated work from local artists.
In addition to Fifth Third Bank, sponsors include Metrolina Greenhouses, H & R Block, J.J. Wade Agency, Camp Wagging Tails, South Main Square, Cashion’s Quik Stop, The Law Firm of Bentz & Associates, PA, Dula Real Estate, Davidson Village Inn, and David & Betsy Stewart.
Proceeds from the event will benefit HAMMERS (Hands Around Mecklenburg/Mooresville Making Emergency Repairs Safely), an emergency home repair program of the Davidson Housing Coalition. HAMMERS makes low- to no-cost repairs on owner-occupied homes of low income residents of Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson and Mooresville. Since its inception in March 2005, HAMMERS has repaired over 100 homes throughout the Lake Norman region.
