Sick and tired of this cold stuff? Please! It’s okay to head to Aspen and Lake Louise for snow cozying or tanning in Cabo, but that’s so ho-hum. Thank heaven, the North Texas Food Bank is holding its 16th Annual Empty Bowls at the Meyerson Friday.
It supposedly, “all-systems-Go!”
Hmm, did NTFB goddess Jan Pruitt cut some kind of deal with Mother Nature? Giggle. Jan ain’t fessing up and we ain’t gonna press her because she’s too busy cooking up loads of soup for the Empty Bowls fundraiser.
In the meantime, Jan’s had her Go-To-Talk-Fella Brett Gray report,
- “The soup is on tomorrow! Everything is the same with one exception: because it will be chilly (mid- to high-30s according to the weather forecast), we are moving all restaurant stations indoors. (We originally had planned several stations outdoors at Betty Marcus Park, as we did in 2014.)
- “Bowls will be under a big tent outdoors – for guests to take a bowl as they depart.
- “We are really looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow – and tickets also will be available at the door. Here is the link: https://web.ntfb.org/emptybowls”
Love the positive attitude, but let’s see what Mom Nature dumps on us overnight. Let’s hope she doesn’t do a repeat performance of today’s cold shoulder.
Thank heaven for folks like morning-TV types like Ron Corning, who must have set new records for today’s frosty coverage and helping area non-profits struggling through the snowy headaches of the day.
The really great news is that spring break is next week and everyone is headed to ski the Rocky Mountains or to tan on the beaches of St. Bart’s.
Not to worry. The MSC staff will keep you posted on the good, the bad and the OMG of the days to come.
