Each of the three events are unique experiences with their own signature. The Ghost Tree in Bend is the granddaddy of them all and our largest event site by far. The Southern Oregon Classic showcases an amazing view of the valley and the regions finest wineries. While the Lake Las Vegas Classic brings the best chefs from the Vegas Strip to a truly jaw dropping setting in the desert.
We hear it every year from our first time attendees, they can’t believe how much food from such a wide array of chefs are in one place. And then on top of that the wine, whiskey tastings, desserts and oh yeah, the incredible dance band and packed dance floor. Visit our photo albums from past events to see what it’s all about. Bring your friends and family or make new friends. We’re all there to have a great weekend and take a break from it all and celebrate giving back.
There are so many ways to get involved. We’re always looking for new sponsors, volunteers and of course our chefs and wineries, the stars of it all. We’re also interested in learning about new and exciting charities in each of our event communities that might want to work with us. Click the link to learn more about each.
The true stars of each event are of course our chefs and award winning bands. We take great pride in bringing together a diverse group of culinary talent for each event. You will find chefs visiting from afar and just down the road. This is their chance to “show off” if you will to the event guests and show them what they can do by creating some fun and unique dishes. Learn more about our chefs with the link below.
As the chefs wrap up dinner service at each event it becomes time for our bands to hit the stage. We have been extremely lucky to work with some of the west’s best musical acts. Lately we have been fortunate to have Patrick Sieben and his band Patrick and the LVB perform and commit to all three of our events for 2023. Patrick is an Emmy Award winning singer and songwriter. They pack the dance floor at each event, you can learn more about him and his band with the link below.
Each event is part of a 501c3 non profit where the entire goal of the organization is to raise funds for our local charities in each community we serve. We have been proud to donate to charities that include The Boys & Girls Club, Ronald McDonald House Charities, UMC Foundation, Keep Memory Alive, CASA and many, many more. Not to mention our annual donations to local high school athletic teams and dance groups. We have raised over $1 million for our non profit partners to date.
