Saratoga Clay Arts Center is pleased to announce its 10th Chili Bowl Fundraiser, to be held at the Saratoga City Center on Saturday, February 4th from 11 – 4pm. Participating celebrity chefs include Jonathan Quinn of Osteria Danny, Pat Brown of The Brook Tavern, Sam Squires of Druthers, Jasper Alexander of Hattie’s, and Rob Cardona of Cardona’s Market. Our musical guest is Rich Ortiz. Guests purchase tickets to enter, choose a handmade bowl, enjoy live music and participate in the chili taste testing. A portion of the proceeds benefit the local cancer non-profit organization To Life.

Tickets are $25 and include a handmade bowl (plus tax). Tickets go on sale January 6th  at www.saratogaclayarts.org. Or you can bring 2 non-perishable food items for Wilton Pantry and save $2! Guests can choose from 5 time slots and have the opportunity to purchase more bowls onsite.

The chili competition is fierce and guests always have lots of fun.  Rich Ortiz will provide the entertainment and the restaurants will provide the chili for the event. There will also be a silent auction featuring one-of-a-kind original clay work by local and national clay artists, also to benefit To Life.

To keep the lines short and the wait to a minimum, guests pre-purchase tickets and bowls online for a specific time slot. SCAC will only pre-sell 300 chili bowls for each one-hour time slot. After 300 bowls are sold, the time slot will be closed.  Guests are asked to arrive at the time specified on their ticket. SCAC puts more bowls out for selection each hour so everyone will get an equal opportunity to select bowls. Online registrations will take preference to walk-ins. If all the bowls are sold online, there will be no walk-ins allowed.
