EVENT
e Fayetteville Marksmen
hockey organization will be
holding a food festival on March
19 at the Crown Coliseum. e
festival, which will showcase
both local and chain restaurant
vendors, will take place the after-
noon before the Marksmen face
the Birmingham Bulls.
According to Zach Ruettgers,
an intern working with the
Marksmen, 18 vendors are cur-
rently lined up to provide food
for the event, including but not
limited to Dorothy's Catering,
Carrabbas Italian Grill, Gaston
Brewing Company and El Caza-
dor Mexican Restaurant.
"is is our first year putting
on an event like this. Fayetteville
Eats is designed to marry two
of the most exciting elements of
the Fayetteville community: its
wonderful cuisine and Marks-
men hockey," he said.
e vendors will be setting
up sampling tables, and par-
ticipants can roam the vendor's
offerings and enjoy samples
size bites of their food. e idea
behind the festival was to create
the "ultimate tailgate experi-
ence," and to help create that
atmosphere, organizers will have
games set up for attendees, and
drinks will be available through-
out the event.
Fayetteville Eats is open to all
ages. Admission to the game is
included in the price of a ticket
to the festival.
e Marksmen are offering two
different ticket packages for the
festival. e "general admission"
package costs $30 in advance,
$35 on the day of, and includes
entry to the festival beginning at
3:30 p.m. Ticket holders have ac-
cess to unlimited sampling with
the vendors. With the general
admission package, festival-go-
ers will receive an endzone ticket
to the Marksman game starting
at 6:30 p.m.
In addition to the unlimited
food sampling, VIP ticket holders
will be able to take advantage of
complimentary soft drinks and
water during the festival. e VIP
package allows for early access
into the festival at 3 p.m. and
costs $45 in advance, $50 on the
day of the event. VIPs will receive
a center ice ticket for the game
and a Marksman shot glass.
"is is a food festival featuring
some of the best food and drinks
that Fayetteville has to offer,
followed by a Marksman hockey
game," said Ruettgers.
e event will also feature mu-
sic by a local performer. Michael
Daughtry, a North Carolina sing-
er and songwriter, will perform
during the festival. Daughtry
has opened for acts like Jimmy
Buffet, and is a local Fayetteville
favorite.
