GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (NEWS10) – The World Awareness Children’s Museum is setting the table for its biggest event of the year. Foods from across the world will converge downtown for the annual International Cuisine Dinner and Auction, set to come to downtown Glens Falls this May.
On Sunday, May 21, international cuisine will be on display at the Queensbury Hotel, as area restaurants show off foods and flavors from different parts of the world. New culinary experiences will come along with raffles and live and silent auctions offering items from local businesses and organizations. Every year, the festivities benefit a family institution in the Glens Falls community, with this year’s yet to be announced.
Every year, the museum and hotel see over 200 visitors take part – and this 35th is no exception. Early bird tickets are for sale now, set at $100 for young professionals ages 35 and under, and $110 for individual adults.
