2010 Celebrity Event will feature Food Network Star Alton Brown

The 2010 Celebrity Event guest will be Alton Brown, host of the Food Network shows Good Eats and Iron Chef America, and author of numerous cookbooks.

Alton Brown’s flair in the kitchen developed early with guidance from his mother and grandmother. Switching gears as an adult, Alton spent a decade working as a cinematographer and video director, but realized that he spent all his time between shoots watching cooking shows, which he found to be dull and uninformative. Convinced that he could do better, Alton left the film business and moved to Vermont to train at the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, VT. Soon after, Alton tapped all of his training to create Good Eats, a smart and entertaining food show that blends wit with wisdom, history with pop culture, and science with common cooking sense. Alton not only writes and produces the shows but also stars in each offbeat episode on Food Network.

In addition to sharing stories and clips from his shows Alton will be performing a live cooking demonstration and taking questions from the audience. We anticipate huge crowds so make sure to reserve your tickets early!

The event will be held on Friday, February 19 at 7:30pm at Calvary Church in Souderton. Proceeds from the event support Indian Creek Foundation’s programs for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Ticket costs are $50 for adults, $25 for students (up to age 18) and $140 for a Family Four Pack (two adult and two student tickets). For the ultimate fan there are two options this year. Indian Creek Foundation will host a meet-and-greet prior to the event starting at 6pm, this exclusive engagement will allow you to get up close and personal with Alton. Tickets for the meet-and-greet, which cost $150, include access to a private heavy hors d'oeuvres buffet, and preferred seating at the event. Also for $75 you can purchase a ticket with preferred seating for the event. For your $25 tax-deductible donation, this ticket will ensure that you have seating in the front of the venue.
