As a devoted food lover, I’ve always believed that food is more than just sustenance – it’s a form of art, a language of love, and a way to connect with others. The opportunity to immerse myself in the rich tapestry of flavors, aromas, and textures at this festival would be an experience that warms my heart and feeds my soul. I can already imagine the joy of savoring each bite, the thrill of discovering new favorites, and the delight of learning from the passionate vendors. This festival isn’t just about cheese and meat, it’s about celebrating the love and dedication that goes into creating these culinary masterpieces. Winning these tickets would not just be a day of indulgence, but a cherished memory that I would hold close to my heart for years to come. Thank you for considering me for this amazing opportunity!

    I love me some meat and cheese, and I’ve never attended something like this before. I didn’t even know this was a thing. I’d love to experience it for the first time. (I can’t believe I’ve lived in Portland for over 45 years and didn’t even know about this.)

    My wife had our second child 22 days ago and during her pregnancy, she had to avoid all deli meats and cured meats. She loves charcuterie boards and all she wanted to do was drink a glass of wine with some meat and cheese. Being able to take her to this would be a great way to celebrate her being able to eat what she wants again!
