{"title":"Currituck-Dare Community Foundation announces 10th annual Duck & Wine Festival","content":"<p>The board of directors of the Currituck-Dare Community Foundation announces the return of the Duck &amp; Wine Festival, its annual fundraiser hosted in partnership with Coastal Cantina.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Festival will take place on Saturday, April 28 from 12 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Duck Waterfront Shops. Ticket sales go live at 12:01 a.m. on Feb. 1. For more information and to purchase tickets please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.duckandwine.com\">duckandwine.com<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>Funds raised are for the community foundation&#8217;s local grantmaking program, according to Sheila Davies, CDCF board president. The CDCF has also named three nonprofit partners to receive some of the proceeds from this year&#8217;s event: Mano al Hermano, Kid&#8217;s First and OBX Room in the Inn.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Duck &amp; Wine Festival is a one-day restaurant cook-off judged by both a panel and event participants. Each chef creates a dish prepared from duck donated by Maple Leaf Farms and pairs it with a wine selected by Coastal Cantina. The festival highlights talents of local restaurants, with tickets selling out every year, attracting residents and visitors.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;The event also raises awareness about local charities,&#8221; said Dan LaRue, CDCF board member and event co-chair. In addition to grants provided through the event, the prize money awarded to the winning chefs is allocated to local nonprofits of their choosing. &#8220;This event is all about having fun for a good cause,&#8221; said Scott Foster, CDCF board member and event co-chair.<\/p>","excerpt":"<p>The board of directors of the Currituck-Dare Community Foundation announces the return of the Duck &amp; Wine Festival, its annual fundraiser hosted in partnership with Coastal Cantina.<\/p>","url":"\/news\/currituckdare-community-foundation-announces-10th-annual-duck--wine-festival","publishedAt":1516895943,"media":0,"enableComments":false,"inMenu":false,"meta":null,"ordinal":0,"orderChildrenBy":"","id":"ee935112de9e4a7599453ff2b23f6aea","parent":"31bc018cb0694068b20999237c54f462","node":45814,"created":1516895943,"modified":1516895943,"fresh":1,"type":"post","children":{},"relations":{"category":[{"title":"Currituck-Dare Community Foundation","source":null,"url":"\/categories\/communities\/northeastern\/currituck-dare-community-foundation","content":"","inMenu":false,"publishedAt":1536247737,"meta":{"title":"","description":"","excludeFromSitemap":"No"},"ordinal":0,"orderChildrenBy":"","permission":"write","tinyMCE_dummy":"","excerpt":"","media":"0","visibleTo":"Everyone","id":"fa505a1870de423e8df8ae571a3a2382","parent":"e478692a8f114c36ad4d25eb73832cdb","node":20857,"created":1533158638,"modified":1536247737,"fresh":1,"type":"f9a6b2b005cb46ed8778f11c37e4d3a5","children":{}}]},"permission":"read"}
