First a little about the event.  Hampton Green is nestled away in Fruitport out Farr Road and they raise champion dressage horses.  They are incredibly beautiful and they compete world wide in the sport.  In the Rio Olympics, their now retired Grandioso competed for team Spain.  Hampton Green is also the home of a lot of different events focused on helping Muskegon area non profits raise a few bucks for their cause by hosting wonderful benefits that are turn key for the charity, meaning all the charitable group really has to do is show up and Hampton Green takes it from there.

Hopefully, you're familiar with Make a Wish.  Kids facing terrible illness make a request to have a once in a lifetime dream come true.  It might be a trip, or the chance to be a firefighter for a day...maybe it's a shopping spree or maybe it a reunion with a family member from far away....the request is made, and Make a Wish goes to work on it doing all they can to pull out all the stops and make the wish as spectacular as it can be.  It's an endeavor that once you've seen it, it becomes pretty near and dear to your heart.  The wishes are not free, however most places that are part of the wish do what they can to work with the group and the kid granted the wish to go above and beyond.



The stories of Make a Wish events...they go from the most uplifting to some pretty tough ones....but as Bonnie Nolan from Make a Wish tells us, the good far out weighs the bad and these kids see just how wonderful this world can be when we all choose to wrap our arms around a cause.  Take a listen to our talk below.

Ok, so let's recap a minute.  Some of the best food you'll find anywhere.  A setting that's as marvelous as you'll find and a cause that is undeniably one of the best around.  Let's all make a plan to be part of Chef Prize at Hampton Green Farm on September 17th.  We can enjoy the car show, the music from Natchez Trace, some wine, some sweet treats, cooking demonstrations and the peaceful serenity of the early fall on the farm.  Grab yourself some tickets by clicking on the link below and we'll plan on seeing you for Chef Prize 2017 September 17th.
