All summer we’ve been updating you, reminding you to ready your jars for Buffalo Rising’s Can You Can? Party! Today we are happy to announce that online registration is up and Delish on Elmwood has kindly offered us the use of their lovely kitchen classroom/soiree area. We’re ready–are you?
So, here’s how it works. Anyone wishing to enter will bring three jars of their most prized item to the event. One jar will be opened and sampled. The other two jars will be swapped. Due to limited quantities, this event is only open to canners and one guest a piece. Each item will be rated against other items in its same category by a panel of judges, as well the canners. We’ll have a few prizes, and, of course, there’s the added bonus of taking home someone else’s prized jars. There will be wine and drinks, maybe a few snacks. There’s also a pesky waiver attendees will need to sign.
The categories are:
Jams, Jellies and Preserves
Pickled Vegetables
Fruit
Vegetables
Epicurean
Here’s the most important thing. Registration is free. This is a big mistake as an event planner, as it typically means the guests feel little commitment to actually coming. But, in this case, we really don’t want to charge anyone to come. So, please don’t register if you’re not sure whether or not you can make it. We have very limited space and a good deal of interest. Registering for a space and then not showing up, in this situation, would be very unfair to those who were unable to register. Registrations will be verified via phone or email the week before the event.
We’re very excited and looking forward to Can You Can?. People have been asking about it all summer and we’re looking forward to seeing what Buffalo’s canners have been doing with this summer’s wonderful bounty!
