Snow Day 2015

The 7th annual Snow Day, a CAC Beardsley Community Farm Benefit, will be hosted at Barley's Taproom and Pizzeria at 7 pm on Friday, January 23rd, 2015. CAC Beardsley Community Farm is Knoxville's only urban demonstration farm that helps get fresh, healthy, local food to Knoxville's under-served communities.

Snow Day will feature seven performances by a diverse group of local musicians, a soup contest between some of Knoxville's finest restaurants, caterers, and chefs, a Homegrown and Homemade Beard Pageant, and a silent auction. So far, silent auction prizes include a June CSA share with A Place of the Hearth Farm, a YMCA household membership, and gift certificates to several local Knoxville businesses. More prizes are expected to be donated between now and January 23rd, and local artisans, businesses, and organizations are encouraged to participate in the large silent auction.
