🔔 Rules & Details:
1️⃣ One dish per person for entry.
2️⃣ Any holiday-themed side dish or appetizer is welcome — Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Hanukkah, etc.
3️⃣ Main dishes will be disqualified. (Sorry, no turkeys or hams!)
4️⃣ Dishes may include one accompaniment (ex: shrimp with cocktail sauce, rolls with butter).
5️⃣ There is no on-site prep, heating (use of ovens), or cooling, so please plan accordingly.
6️⃣ Riverside will provide plates, bowls, spoons, and forks — you must provide any serving dishes, ladles, knifes or crockpots you need. (No use of Riverside equipment will be allowed, no exceptions)
7️⃣ We love festive flair, but table space is limited, so please no extra decorations.
8️⃣ Sign up by November 10th and let us know if your dish is hot or cold at that time so we can plan space. Cell Phone number is required at time of entry, a rough headcount will be given on the 10th so you can plan how much food to make.
9️⃣ Tasting tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door.
Bring your best side and your appetite — it’s time to find out who really rules the holiday table, all while supporting a great cause! ❤️🍽️
