This
fundraiser (the second Saturday of November at the Folger Home in
Veterans’ Park on Lake Road in Avon Lake) has been held annually since
2002, with attendance increasing yearly. It’s a great place to
gather with friends for a hearty meal while supporting a local
historical preservation effort. This year’s event will be held November
12 from 4:00 until 7:00. Pre-sale tickets for adults and
children (4-11) are available from Pat Fellure, 933.6409.
Adults Pre-sale $8 At the door $10
Children (4-11) Pre-sale $4 At the door $5
Mail
a check payable to ALLPS to Pat Fellure, 32617 Belle Road, Avon Lake,
OH 44012; be sure to indicate how many tickets of each kind you
want. Your tickets will be waiting for you at the door on Nov.
12, 4:00 - 7:00 pm.
Many
restaurants and cafes from the immediate area donate 4-5 gallons of
their chili. Other businesses and establishments in the area donate
virtually everything else needed to host the event, such as chafing
dishes, drinks, ice, desserts, bread and rolls, paper supplies, even
floral centerpieces for a raffle. The Press supplies free advertising
for the fundraiser and homemade signs announce it throughout the city.
Countless volunteers donate their time to pick-up all the donations, bake desserts, and
also to serve at the event.
Paying attendees receive samples of each chili donated (identified only by a number) and then vote for their
favorite. The vote earns each guest a full bowl of their favorite, a
hot dog, roll, beverage, and dessert to enjoy within the newly
renovated Henry Ford Room in the historic Folger Home at the
intersection of
Route 83 and Lake Road.
The
following week, the Press prints a letter to the editor, revealing
participating restaurants and their corresponding number, as well as
the first, second and third place winners. RESULTS ARE ALSO POSTED ON
THE BULLETIN BOARD ON THE PORCH OF THE FOLGER HOME. The chili
winning the most
votes receives a glass shadow box encasing a large spoon, with a plaque
commemorating their #1 place position for the year.
Hosting
the fundraiser at the Folger Home serves to increase awareness of the
rental facility and the restoration goals of the Avon Lake Landmark
Preservation Society. We hope you can join us on November 12, 2011.
Enjoy the ambiance, greet new and old friends, and support a worthy cause!
