Generous Helpings {event} GIVEAWAY!

this giveaway is now CLOSED + the winner was selected using random.org. congratulations to commenter #11, Kathy Mead! I’ll be emailing you with details! for those of you who didn’t win, you can still buy tickets in advance for $40/person online, or at the door for $50/person. click here to buy tickets!

 get excited, because one of my favorite Nashville events, Generous Helpings, is on May 17 + one lucky reader will win two tickets (a $100 value)! I try to attend every year (+ I’ll be there this year!), as it’s amazingly delicious AND benefits a great cause – the Second Harvest Food Bank. 35+ local restaurants bring a huge array of appetizers, entrees + desserts (as well as beer + wine) to the Nashville Farmer’s Market, + you get to sample every last scrumptious bite. sounds fab, doesn’t it?
