Feb. 14. The Huntersville Happy Hour Rotary Club’s most popular event, Lake Norman Men That Cook, will be held at The Venues at Langtree on March 17.

The family friendly event provides samplings of tasty cuisine prepared by cooking teams who compete for prize money for their favorite charity. Ticket sales support charities that serve the communities of North Mecklenburg and South Iredell counties.

Patrons use their admission ticket to vote for their favorite dish or charity in six different food categories. First, second and third place winners are selected by a panel of chefs from well-known area restaurants.

Tickets are $20. There are two sessions, 11 am to 12:30 pm or 12:30 pm to 2 pm.

Tickets for children under 10 are $10. Children under 5 are free.

Last year the event raised $23,000 for 21 non-profit organizations.

Entry fees for cooking teams are $100.
