As cold as it is outside, there’s nothing like a good, pipin’ hot bowl of soup. Needless to say the
Souper Bowl VI, a soup cook-off and competition happening at Davidson College on Feb. 6, excites me even more than the Super Bowl … you know, the sports event. At the Souper Bowl, not only do folks attending get to taste a medley of concoctions from Lake Norman area restaurants like Brickhouse, Creole House, Jeffrey’s, Sabi Asian Bistro, Toast, Restaurant X, and more, but they also vote for their faves in a number of different categories. In addition, live entertainment is provided and a silent auction with items donated from Wooden Stone is held. And it’s for a good cause, as it all benefits Hands Around Mecklenburg Making Emergency Repairs Safely (HAMMERS), a local nonprofit organization that helps low-income families make emergency repairs to their homes. Tickets are $10 for adults in advance; $8 for students in advance; $5 for children in advance; There is a $2 increase on the day of the event. 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Held in Davidson College’s Lilly Family Gallery in the Chambers Building, 320 N. Main St., Davidson. To purchase tickets in advance, call 704-892-4486.
