Goshen-area residents can taste homemade salsa and cast ballots for their favorite recipe during a contest set Oct. 2 at Goshen’s First Fridays.
The event that will be on Washington Street in downtown Goshen, will offer $1 bags of chips for salsa testing, and then participants can place a donation in a designated bucket for the salsa they think is best.
There also will be drawings for secret ingredient and salsa knowledge activities. Prizes will include gift certificates to local restaurants and 2 tickets to a Los Lobos Performing Arts Series concert at Goshen College on November 21.
Local celebrities serving as judges include Goshen Mayor Allan Kauffman, musician Sonny Carreno and food critic Marshall King.
The salsa contest is a fund-raiser for Elkhart County Works Together, a grass-roots initiative that has spearheaded projects including community gardens, job networking and a job skills bank.
