The Spirit of Success Awards Gala is beginning its third decade with a new culinary showcase featuring food providers from across Huron County. Restaurants, caterers, bakeries, mobile vendors and specialty food businesses are invited to propose appetizers, main dishes, desserts or distinctive station concepts for the November 18 gala in Clinton. No vendor will be expected to provide a complete meal for all 180 guests. The Chamber will coordinate several selected proposals into a varied dining experience that also gives participating businesses an opportunity to introduce their food and brand to gala guests. Proposals are due August 21 at 4 p.m.
