Leave The Cooking To Clearbrook
On Tuesday, October 16, nearly 300 guest attended Clearbrook's 10th annual Around the World food tasting event at Arlington Toyota in Palatine. Guests enjoyed delicious cuisines from local neighborhood restaurants. There was something for everyone at Around the World. The affordable $35 ticket price was a steal for any foodie looking to try something new and fun. All proceeds go to Clearbrook's mission of helping over 8,000 children and adults with intellectual/development disabilities.
Around the World had four different food trucks that served everything from barbecue to tacos, to grilled cheese and ice cream. Additional event highlights included a silent auction, a 50/50 cash raffle. Other fun activities included a chance to win exciting prizes from the "Around the Wheel" game and the "Punch a Bunch" game. In between bites guests also enjoyed learning knife skill demonstrations from Cook, Cork & Fork cooking school in Palatine. Between our generous hosts, dedicated sponsors, supportive volunteers and fun-loving attendees, Around the World truly is a can't-miss event!
