The 22nd Annual Sagebrush Classic, that raises money for the Deschutes Children’s Foundation and other regional children’s charities, begins in a little over a month, July 16-17, 2010. The Blacksmith’s Chef Gavin McMichael will be participating in the Sagebrush Classic with 17 other world-class national and international chefs. ”It’s the main event of the summer,” says Chef Gavin, “having the opportunity to work with some fantastic Chef’s from around the world and support Deschutes County children’s charities makes the Sagebrush one of the highlights of my year.”
The Sagebrush Classic kicks off on Friday, July 17th, with 52 teams competing for gross and net prizes in a 18-hole best ball golf tournament on the private course at Broken Top. The festivities continue on Saturday with the Classic Feast, outdoors at Broken Top, where guests will enjoy the Chef’s culinary artistry, hand crafted beers from Deschutes Brewery, a variety of regional wines and dancing to live music under the stars.
The Sagebrush is truly a great event, see what other’s are saying about it.
