Pockville Creative Community in collaboration with Faith Fluff Market is hosting a chef showcase this Saturday, March 18th. We have so many talented home chefs. We are not tapping into the best that we can, the talent that is in Eastern Kentucky, in the Appalachian region. We really want to facilitate growth for those talents and show people that, you know, they can be successful. Not only does the chef showcase give locals the opportunity to display their cooking skills, but the Pockville Creative Community also aims to help those interested in boosting their passion. So we are working with the UK Extension Office and they are going to be providing gift baskets that are cooking themed for budding chefs, those who are wanting to possibly turn this into more than just their passion, maybe they're a business or potentially in the future working with FaceLife to provide food for here, lunches, that sort of thing. And we do have three categories, the best overall dish, best Appalachian food and best dessert. This will be the second chef showcase the Pockville Creative Community has hosted. So our last chef showcase which was held in October of 2022 was a huge success. We had fall themed foods, best fall theme and best dish overall. And it was, we had about 15 people who came out. Everybody brought their own food. Some people brought multiple dishes. It was absolutely phenomenal. They hope to have the same success at this showcase and future events. So if you still want to come, we do ask that you bring about 15 samples of food and let one of us know in the Pockville Creative Communities like, hey, I'm thinking about coming or I'll be there too. Just give us a little bit of a heads up and we will happily bring you in and you will be fellowshiping with great people and inclusive community as well as getting some great food. The event will be held Saturday March 18th from 5 to 7 30 p.m. at the Faith Bluff Market in downtown Pikeville. Really what we want to do is make sure that we don't lose the Appalachian and Eastern Kentucky culture. We want to make sure that we are fostering the growth of that culture in the community and inviting younger people to become part of that community by getting involved with our group.
