ALL YOU CAN EAT MAC-AND CHEESE for $10 – and the money goes to charity?
Yes it’s real.  Yes you can go.  And yes, it’s for a great cause.

There are so many charity events – all for worthy causes – but this is one that stands out, and I really hope you attend!!

Give Kids The World Village’s second annual O-Town MacDown is set for Saturday, September 12, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Osceola Heritage Park.

The MacDown is a macaroni-and-cheese cooking contest and fundraiser for Give Kids The World Village, a 79-acre resort for children with life- threatening illnesses.

The event features talented chefs and caterers from around Orlando, each looking to whip up the best mac-n-cheese dish in Central Florida. Chefs from such well known restaurants as Hard Rock Café, Smokey Bones and Disney’s Port Orleans will compete.

In addition to the mac-n-cheese battle, Saturday’s competition will include live entertainment, cooking demonstrations, a Kids’ Zone, interactive games provided by Orlando City Soccer Club and unlimited samples of the best mac-n-cheese on the planet.

Tickets, available online at www.OTownMacDown.org, are $10 for adults and $5 for kids 12-years-old and under. There’s no charge for children under 3. Ticket prices will be higher at the door.

If you go, I want to hear all the details! I will be out-of-town during the event this year. Sad I’ll miss it!
