This year’s Hahsbrown Chili Cook-Off promises to be the most impressive to date. This year, our fundraising committee had a fun but difficult task: To build on the Hashbrown traditions to create an evening that will bring warmth and joy to all, even attendees recovering from this snowiest of winters!
Here are a few attractions to look forward to on February 28th:
Dessert from Bang Bang Pie and Biscuits
World Nutella Day is as good of a day as any to announce our Dessert Sponsor, Bang Bang Pie and Biscuits, will be providing our guests with Nutella Cheesecake. Save a tasting ticket for a sweet treat, or grab an extra tasting ticket to compliment the chili.
Beverages Curated by Artisanal Imports and Certified Cicerone® Adam Schulte
Certified Cicerone® Adam Schulte, will include Aspall cyder, Trooper, an English Pale Ale created by Iron Maiden and handcrafted by Robinson’s Brewery; plus cocktails and a digestif. All beverages are provided by Artisanal Imports, an importer of specialty beers and spirits from England, Germany, Belgium and beyond.
Door Prizes from Comrade Cycles, Enterprise CarShare, and more
Helping our guests get from here to there, our prizes include a free bike tune-up, an Enterprise CarShare membership (plus driving credit). We’ll also gift artwork and much more. Tickets for the drawing will be available in person at the event.
Carnival Games
Between chili tastes, take in a print-themed carnival games! Taking advantage of our 20th Century print technology, guests will have the opportunity to play one-of-a-kind games that we guarantee won’t be found elsewhere.
Tote Bags, Handkerchiefs, and T-Shirts designed by Artist, Nicolette Ross
Spudnik has long been known for our Woodblock Printed T-Shirts. This year, we release a new design, designed by Nicolette Ross, a talented artist who is known for carving a tree as public art artwork and teaching bookbinding classes at Spudnik.
All New “Royalty Package”
To help our guests get the most out of this event, we’ve put together a new package that includes no only admission for two with 5 tasting tickets and a cocktail. Guests will also get to sport their new Totebag, stuffed with a commemorative poster. Plus, Royalty Guest will get to try their chili with a very special golden spoon!
The 2015 Hashbrown promises to be a win-win situation: The more tickets one buys, the more chili, tamales, cheesecake, and games they get to consume, AND the more Spudnik is able to continue their ongoing programs that keep art making and print making affordable and approachable for all.
