Olde Mistick Village will once again host its signature annual charity event, the 20th annual Cabin Fever Charity Chowder Cook-Off. This four-hour event will bring nearly10,000 patrons to Olde Mistick Village where they will enjoy dozens of delicious, savory, and hearty chowders from many local restaurants and eateries. Over 26,000 cups of chowder will be served! This winter day will be filled with family fun and community support! Many of the area’s finest restaurants, caterers, and eateries will serve up their signature chowder from the warmth of the shops in Olde Mistick Village. A team of local judges will choose the winners in four categories: 1) Most Creative Chowder 2) Heartiest Chowder 3) Best use of regional ingredients, and 4) Tastiest Chowder. Via individual ballot, the public will vote for the winner of the coveted “People’s Choice Award” for Best overall Chowder! All awards will be presented in the Meeting House/Chapel, in Olde Mistick Village at 5:00pm. Tickets are $2 for each cup of Chowder, or you may purchase 12 tickets for just $20. Tickets will be on sale the day of the event at 11:30 in those shops with Yellow Signs denoting ‘Tickets Sold Here’. Those shops hosting chowder will be identified by a Blue Sign labeled ‘Chowder Served Here’. All proceeds from the event benefit Always Home.
