Jamestown ChowderFest

Every year we look forward to this fun community event....and this year, we are proud to be kicking off the Williamsburg Harvest Celebration!

Join us for live music by BJ Griffin and the Galaxy Groove (you will LOVE them, trust us) and lots of yummy chowder…all in the comfort of a warm, heated tent. Your ticket includes unlimited chowder tasting from some of the area’s finest establishments, two drink tickets, and live music.

You get to help decide who has the best chowder, so come hungry and ready to sample. With approximately 12 stations around the tent perimeter, hosted by local dining establishments, this event is a great way to meet the people behind the food and chat with the chefs. They might even share some chowder tips with you.

Get your tickets early as this event usually sells out quickly!!

Once again, we will be accepting donations for the "Feed Our Future" Backpack Program at this year's ChowderFest.

Items needed are Chef Boyardee (ravioli, beefaroni, spaghetti and meatballs), chicken noodle soup, breakfast bars, juice boxes, and fruit cups. Elementary School Assistant Principal and Director of the "Feed our Future" backpack and food pantry initiative, Ann Marie Nelin will be onsite at the Chowder Fest collecting donations to fill their pantry.

While children from low-income households are provided meals during the week at school, many of them go hungry on the weekends and when school is on break. Currently, the program is servicing nearly 100 elementary students; providing each of them with backpacks packed with two breakfasts and two lunches to take home for the weekend.

No glass items can be accepted. Food or monetary donations are welcome anytime. For more information, contact Ann Marie Nelin at 757-267-2558 or ann_nelin@surryschools.net.
