The Taste of Peñasco and Iron Chef Competition, scheduled for this Saturday Feb. 11 from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. at Plaza del Camarón, is shaping up to be quite an event! Here are some details to help guide you through the day, plus remember there is still time to get raffle tickets prior to the event as well as on the day of the tasty experience! Monies from this fundraising event will be going to the Puerto Peñasco Fire Department and the local group “2 Fish Ministries”, which provides thousands of meals across the community.
Judging Table raffle tickets are being sold for $5 US (60 pesos) prior to the Iron Chef competition as this is for one coveted position at the Judges’ Table!! The drawing for the judge’s seat will be at 11 a.m. (well, as close to that as possible) so the lucky winner can join the other judges in the “JUDGING AREA” before the Chefs get going. You can still purchase judging tickets prior to the event at Latitude 31 or contact Sami at info@rockypoint360.com.
General raffle tickets are for the flurry of wonderful raffle prizes that have been donated by local businesses, restaurants, resorts, and artists from across the community! They are sure a doozie and include everything from gift certificates for dining out, t-shirts, artwork, jewelry, bottles of tequila, massage, tickets to rock concerts (for the March Peñasco Palooza plus 2 for the RCPM Circus Mexicus in June), and the grand prizes of 3 day/2 night stays at Sonoran Resorts, Laguna Shores, or at Puerta Privada. The Puerta Privada gift package comes with a catered dinner for 2 by a gourmet chef!! General raffle tickets are $5 US each (60 pesos) or 5 for $20 (240 pesos) and are being sold prior to the event (Latitude 31, Brothers Pizza, or email: info@rockypoint360.com) and will also be available throughout the day on Saturday with raffle drawings going on during the Taste. Plus, tune in to Rocky Point Ramblings on Stereo Sol 106.1 FM on Saturday from Noon – 2 p.m. for other opportunities to win some of these great donated raffle prizes!! We have collected more than 70 different prizes!!!!!
Food tickets – Food tickets will be $1 US each and available at the Ticket Booth (look for them in the fountain at Shrimp Plaza). You will need food tickets to purchase Taste portions from the different restaurant booths set up around the plaza on the day of the event (for example 1 ticket, 2 tickets, 3 tickets, etc.) as food vendors will not be receiving money.
