The Barton County’s Got Flavor fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity is coming back in 2020, with special guests, Colorado Keys, returning for a fifth year. On Saturday, January 25, Habitat for Humanity for Barton County will play host to a night of great food prepared by contestants, followed up with what promises to be a night full of unforgettable entertainment, sponsors said.
Held at the Great Bend Events Center, this fundraiser will feature food tastings from 6:30-7:15 p.m., followed by the high energy, dueling piano entertainers from the Colorado Keys at 7:30 p.m.
This year, guests will notice a twist in the tastings, said local Habitat for Humanity chairman Austin Coyan. Guests will have the opportunity to taste a variety of food prepared by local volunteer chefs, family feud style. Kim Vink, Coldwell Banker Sell Real Estate, and her family are battling for bragging rights. Event attendees are the judges and will vote for their favorite food tasting. The winning teams will receive a trophy or cash.
“We are so excited for this annual event and hope everyone comes ready for some great food, laughter, and entertainment,” Coyan said. “We invited the Colorado Keys back this year along with their Dueling Pianos act. People asked for their return and we listened.”
Tickets are $25 each for the tastings and the dueling piano show. The dinner and cash bar is available for adults only, with tickets limited to the first 150 people. Tickets for the dueling piano show, only, are available for $15 per person.

About Habitat for Humanity:
Habitat for Humanity has been in Barton County since 2001. The non-profit organization gives a hand up, not a hand out; all donations are used to build or remodel homes for partner families, who then purchase the home through a zero-interest, 25-year mortgage. The houses cost less because they are built with volunteer labor and donated materials, and because the partner families do not pay interest. This makes homeownership more affordable than in the private market. In addition, the funds collected in mortgage payments can be re-used to help another family in Barton County.
