Market at the Foodbank Winner and a Chance to Win edible Cleveland

Thank you to all that entered the Market at the Foodbank ticket giveaway last week. I used random.org this morning to select a winner from the comments posted, and it selected Lucky #2- Tracy W. a.k.a. Ma. Congratulations! Tracy, you have until Thursday to email me to claim your prize, or then I will select another winner. Truly, I hope that you will all consider supporting this great event. You will more than get your money's worth in food, wine, and experience...and that $85 translates to 340 meals in a local hunger center.

Today is your lucky day, because I have another great giveaway for one lucky reader. A new local food magazine, edible Cleveland, has hit stands around town and is already causing quite a stir. Here is a little bit more about the magazine:

ABOUT EDIBLE CLEVELAND
"We created edible Cleveland to bring attention to the people and stories that make up our local food community. edible Cleveland serves as resources for finding out what's in season, who’s producing it, and where you can find it.

Every season the quarterly publication will introduce you to the people instrumental in making Cleveland’s food scene so vibrant.

Every issue of edible Cleveland will express our core values: Beauty counts. We want to publish a magazine that’s worthy of the paper it’s printed on.
