CCVI – SPECTACLE

CCVI’s inaugural SPECTACLE was held on June 29th at Boys Grow Farm. The open-fire grilling event featured 12 of Our Town’s finest chefs, who prepared delicious South American fare on an asado-style grill, and two dessert chefs. Proceeds supported CCVI and raised funds for scholarships for youth in the Boys Grow program.
