Zane State’s Ethnic Food Fair Returns
ZANESVILLE, OH – The taste of tradition and community is back at Zane State College! Mark your calendars for their annual Ethnic Food Fair, a celebration honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and bringing people together through food and fellowship.
The event is set for Friday, January 17th, at 11 a.m. in the Campus Center. Guests can savor a global menu featuring French, Italian, Jamaican, and Soul Food. The dishes are all prepared by Zane State’s talented Culinary Arts Students under the expert guidance of Chef Marco Adornetto.
“This is about our 29th year I believe. I let the second-year students pick different cuisines they’d like to do in the fall, and then they work on those. We work on developing menus and recipes and make sure they’re going to turn out okay.” ZSC Culinary Arts Program Coordinator, Marco Adornetto said.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. The proceeds go towards the Joyce A. Farmer Smith Memorial Scholarship, which supports minority students at Zane State and honors Smith’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. The food fair is a perfect opportunity to enjoy great food and make a difference in students’ lives.
“It’s a really nice time to come out and support the community and see a lot of nice people. It’s a great day to celebrate Martin Luther King weekend.” Adornetto said.
Tickets and additional event details are available on the Zane State website.
