Roncalli Catholic Schools to host International Food Fair Nov. 2
MANITOWOC, Wis. — Roncalli Catholic Schools invites the public to tempt their tastebuds and attend the International Food Fair on Saturday, Nov. 2. The event, for adults only, 21 and older, will take place at Roncalli High School, 2000 Mirro Drive in Manitowoc, beginning at 5 p.m.
The event, featuring a variety of cuisine, will be a recipe for a good time. The food, including many delicious desserts which will satisfy your sweet tooth, will be prepared by local restaurants, food trucks and Roncalli Catholic Schools families, and include Americana, Asian, Greek, German, Italian, Mexican, Polish and Southern dishes. Specialty beers and wine will be available for purchase as well. This includes a special brew, Jet Lag, a collaboration between PetSkull Brewing Co. and Allie Family Companies. Cans of the double dry hopped hazy IPA will be available for $8 each, along with four packs, at the event. All sales from Jet Lag sold at Food Fair will be donated to Roncalli Catholic Schools.
Patrons will have the opportunity to taste test Jet Lag prior to Food Fair during a special Tapping Party on Oct. 30 beginning at 4:30 p.m. at PetSkull, 1015 Buffalo St. in Manitowoc. Jet Lag will be the featured Business of the Month Beer for November at PetSkull with $5.50 from each can or glass sold being donated to Roncalli Catholic Schools thanks to Allie Family Companies and PetSkull. Watch for more details regarding this event.
“Reserve Saturday, Nov. 2 on your calendar now for an evening of delicious fare and more at the International Food Fair,” said Candice Giesen, director of advancement for Roncalli Catholic Schools. “You’ll want to savor every moment of this year’s event as we’ll again be offering returning favorites on the menu, but also the opportunity to try smaller bites so that you can try multiple types of cuisine. Be sure to come hungry!”
There is no cost to attend the event. Punch cards will be available for sale at the International Food Fair to make food sampling easy. Cash, check, credit cards and Venmo will be accepted.
In addition to the fare being offered, the International Food Fair includes an oral auction with packages including experiences, sports memorabilia, and more! You won’t want to miss these items as they’re auctioned off by Greg Schramm who will serve as the event’s auctioneer. Local personality Jason Prigge, host of “The Coolest Coast,” will make his debut as this year’s event emcee, too.
