Cleveland Foodie

giveaway: two tickets to chefs unbridled

Did you know that one of the largest therapeutic riding centers in the country is located right in our backyard? Fieldstone Farm Therapeutic Riding Center in Bainbridge supports roughly 750 students annually, from preschoolers to veterans. Through a special partnership with horses, Fieldstone offers programs designed by professionals to foster personal growth and individual achievement for people with disabilities.

Think about it – this program is responsible for giving kids the opportunity to get out of their wheelchair, take first steps or talk for the first time. That is simply amazing.

If you agree, here’s your chance to help. The center has its major fundraising initiative coming up in a few weeks and it’s sure to appeal to many. It’s a tasting dinner held on their grounds, the prestigious Chagrin Valley Hunt Club Polo Field, on September 15^th. Participating chefs include: Jonathan Sawyer, Scott Kuhn, Chris Hodgson, Matt Mytro, Nate Barker and Jeff Jarrett.

The chefs will prepare a seasonal tasting dinner. In addition to cocktails and passed appetizers, guests will sample a number of dishes from stations around the tent during the evening, and top off the night with a special dessert.

The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra will supply the music for the night and there will also be horse drawn wagon rides through nearby Gates Mills. Tickets to the event range from $125 up and include a tax deductible donation to Fieldstone Farm Therapeutic Riding Center. Visit here to learn more and purchase tickets.

Fieldstone Farm Therapeutic Riding Center has provided two tickets to give away to one lucky reader. If you’d like to be considered, please leave a comment to this post and share why you’d like to go. You have until August 30^th. The winner will be chosen via Random.org.

This sounds like a wonderful evening. It is awesome that Cleveland culinary talent is giving back to youth in the community in such a special way as in the therapeutic riding center!

My son is autistic and this was his first experience with horses. He rode Mitch every week. It was so encouraging to see this little 5 year old boy on top of a big horse. This fundraiser is totally worth it. We donate money every year but it would sure be great to win tickets. We would be sure to stop by and say hi to Mitch.

This sounds like a fantastic event. My boyfriend's 30th birthday is on September 15th and it would be so wonderful to take him. We are both medical students who don't have much money to spend on good food, and this would be such a special way for us to celebrate a special birthday. Thank you!

What a fantastic lineup, the fantastic charity, the chefs and the CJO, this is going to be a really fun night! My husband plays in a few jazz bands so it would be nice for him to be in the audience for once.

My other half and I moved to Cleveland recently, and now that we're settling in, we're discovering all the CLE has to offer. We love hunting for new, fun foodie finds, too. This event sounds like heaven. :) Please consider me to those tickets!
