Northwest Paella Fest

One for The Books

Paella Fest Raises $11,653 for Food For Lane County 

Surpassing all expectations and wildest dreams, Paella Fest 2015 was one for the books. There were 35 paella makers—including many new faces—and a record breaking crowd. With great music and dancing to inaugurate the new stage, a wonderful selection of northwest beer and wine, and a hugely successful silent auction, a grand time was had by all. In addition, we were able to donate $11,653.00 to Food For Lane County—our largest contribution to date!

Helping our community while having so much fun is what makes this event truly special. Thank you to everyone—from the paella makers, guests, and donors (see below), to the musicians and dancers—for making the 10th Annual Paella Fest such a memorable one. A special shout out to Lisa Kelm and her giant paella that was the center piece hanging over the stage. And of course a huge thanks to Mo and Eric for the wonderful hilltop and all of the effort they put into this event in the weeks preceding and following Paella Fest.

Here's to next year and the 11th Annual!
