Just desserts:
Top chefs from area restaurants, bakeries and culinary schools will put their dessert skills to the test as they compete in the 18th Annual Gingerbread House Competition.  This battle of gingerbread and icing will go down on Friday, November 4th from 10am to 12noon.  The sweet showdown will be judged by a celebrity panel. We hope the Gingerbread Man is included.  For more information:https://caughtinsouthie.com/gingerbread-house

Beef:
An old-fashioned meat raffle will take place Saturday, November 5th at 1pm at the Martin F. McDonough Post (329A West Broadway).  We’re not really sure what goes on these meat raffles but you might just walk out of their with a slab of beef and maybe some steak tips.  Let us know if you go!
