It was a beautiful day to have a fundraiser at Kimberly Van Kampen's Hampton Green Farm for Make a Wish, a Michigan charity.

Each year in the fall Claudia Bryant and Joan Mack produce Chef Prize Michigan to help a local charity raise money and awareness for their cause.

Food, Music, an Illustrator, Horses, Chefs, Vintage Cars, and Trucks made the day very special.

As you drove down the gorgeous tree-lined driveway of Hampton Green Farm with horses peeking

out from the paddocks you felt a sense of excitement.

The atmosphere was alive with the sounds of the Natchez Trace Band and the wonderful aroma

from all the Chefs stations.

Chefs were set up in Red Candy Striped booths and they brought their "A" game from BBQ to Desserts.

There were also cooking demonstrations in the tent from various chefs. Yes, you learned how to cook too!

Families and kids all loved the food and the dessert tents were a big hit too.

Special guest Chefs Martial Nougier, Frederic Boyer, Kay Hamilton and Jack Page judged the food and desserts. The guests also participated in judging the food hence the Peoples Choice Winners which is always fun.

Andy O'Reilly "The Voice of Chef Prize" kept the afternoon moving along.

Michelle McKormick the Emcee of Chef Prize interviewed the chefs at their stations and explained the chef's food demonstrations in the tent.

Another hugely successful Chef Prize Michigan!! See you next year.
