Bismarck to Host<br />
Edible Style Show<br />
From the runways of the big cities to the stage of our<br />
small town, Bismarck is about to see its first edible style<br />
show on Sunday, Oct. 23 at the Seven Seas in Mandan.<br />
“Playing With Food” will feature edible outfits from<br />
local restaurants, businesses and organizations. “This<br />
is a style show like you’ve never seen before! If it works<br />
right, and no one melts, it could be the coolest style show<br />
or fundraiser the Bismarck-Mandan area has ever seen,”<br />
said Stacy Sturm, one of the event organizers. “It’s going<br />
to appeal to people that love music, people that love food,<br />
people that love art and people that love fashion. It’s going to<br />
blow your mind!”<br />
So far eight local businesses have agreed to put together<br />
outfits made almost entirely of food. Select businesses,<br />
like The Walrus and <strong>Pat</strong>isserie on Fourth, have extensive<br />
experience in the food industry and are trained food artists.<br />
Other groups, like LA Weight loss and The Dakota Dolls of<br />
Destruction, have no experience in food artistry, but are fun,<br />
creative artists at heart. Either way, one team will take home<br />
$500 as the People’s Choice Award winner!<br />
There will also be an edible art contest open to the<br />
public. Construct cakes, gingerbread houses, chocolate<br />
houses, edible pictures, fruit sculptures, etc. for the chance<br />
to win a $100 “People’s Choice Award.” The pieces will be<br />
auctioned off in a bucket auction with proceeds benefitting<br />
charity.<br />
There will also be live music from Kris Kitko before and<br />
after the style show. A cash bar is available and local vendors<br />
will offer plenty for people to see and do.<br />
Tickets are only $15. Proceeds benefit the Missouri<br />
Valley Optimist Club. You can reserve your tickets by calling<br />
701-751-0838 or buy them online at www.urlradio.net.<br />
They will also be available at the door.<br />
“I saw something very similar on Food Network a<br />
couple years ago and vowed to bring it to Bismarck-Mandan<br />
someday,” said Sturm. “Now that we have so many cool local<br />
restaurants and bars in our area, it’s an opportune time to<br />
display all our local food artists. This is something people<br />
are going to be talking about for months –and it’s not going<br />
to be just a ‘chick thing’. I think everyone is going to be<br />
excited to see what our local businesses have come up with<br />
for the show. But if your husband doesn’t want to go, grab<br />
the girls anyway and go have some fun!”
