G&C Foods has signed on as the presenting sponsor for Oswego County Opportunities (OCO) Giving Thanks Food and Beverage Pairing event.
To be held November 3rd from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Lake Ontario Event and Conference in Oswego, the food and beverage pairing event serves as a fundraiser for the agency’s "Transforming Treasures. Transforming Lives." initiative, which focuses on uncovering and showcasing the potential and value of all things and all people.
OCO's Giving Thanks offers attendees the chance to enjoy menu favorites from some of Oswego County’s most popular restaurants and eateries, each of which will be served with a beverage sample selected by Eagle Beverage to compliment the dish. In addition to the food and beverage pairing there will also be a unique Upcycled Art Auction featuring items that have been creatively transformed for a new decorative or useful purpose. Entertainment for the evening will be provided by local favorites, Dam Dog.
