Join us for this annual event to raise money for Midland County Food Assistance Network, which serves more than 12,600 individuals across our region. For just $35, you will receive a beautiful ceramic bowl handcrafted by local artists and enjoy a soup buffet featuring a variety of flavors from Brinstar, Windover High School, The H Hotel, Midland Country Club, Proper Taco, Winston’s Burgers and Emily Mai’s Pho & More.
