Experience an afternoon of drinks, food and entertainment from around the Finger Lakes.
CANANDAIGUA, NY – Kiwanis Club of Canandaigua is hosting its 10th annual Chef and Sip Challenge. The event will be held Sunday, March 3, 2024, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the new Hotel Canandaigua at 205 Lakeshore Blvd. in Canandaigua.
This event showcases chefs who will serve sample-sized foods to attendees, along with businesses who will be sampling wine, beer, and spirits. Participating Chefs and Sips will be competing for Best Presentation, Most Creative, Best Taste, Best Wine, Best Beer, and Best Spirit.
Every dollar generated from the Chef & Sip Challenge goes directly back into the Kiwanis project fund to be utilized for community projects such as the Inclusion in Motion Playground, free children’s activities such as the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Canandaigua Elementary, the Bike Rodeo, various scholarships, and the Salvation Army Christmas Party, just to name a few.
In addition to great local food and beverage samplings, highlights of this fundraiser will include dozens of silent auction items to bid on, including luxury vacation trips and valuable autographed memorabilia. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to win a seven-night luxury vacation for four in Mexico valued at over $7,700.
Previous year’s event raised close to $12,000 thanks to the generous support of our Kiwanis partners, sponsors, advertisers, donors, tastings, and attendees.
Tickets for this year’s Chef’s Challenge are $35 per person or $60 per couple in advance. Tickets purchased at the door are $40 per person or $65 per couple. Tickets can be purchased online at CanandaiguaKiwanis.org, through any Canandaigua Kiwanian, at Lyons National Bank (Canandaigua), Wolfe Insurance Agency, Canandaigua National Bank, Community Bank, Sights & Shades, and Elks Club #1844.

Chair Yoga
You may be seeing some ads for chair yoga and wondering what it is all about. Simply, it is using a chair for balance or while seated to perform some of the movements or positions in yoga. It is beneficial for older adults, someone with mobility issues, or those in the recuperation process. It incorporates many of the basic principles, like breathing or mindfulness. Just because you are not disabled, however, doesn’t mean it won’t be a good thing for you too. Read More.
Bathroom Cleaning Tips
Eww! You glance at the shower floor and see this pink around the drain. This is serratia marcescens, an airborn bacteria, often called pink mold. Unless you have a compromised immune system, this won’t be dangerous but it is certainly unsightly and should be removed. It likes warm, humid areas and needs fats and minerals, which come from soap residue, hard water, and traces of biologicals like skin cells. Read more.
Goulash
Goulash is a term used for a stew or soup, or even a concoction that resembles a hash. Originally coming from Hungary, it is also found in many other countries of Eastern and Central Europe. Here in the states, it looks a bit different but is certainly an easy meal for a busy household. Read More.
