EOTSC20151231 OCCI - New Years Eve Ball



Oregon Coast Culinary Institute to Host 6th Annual New Year’s Eve Ball 


Coos Bay, OR –  Southwestern Oregon Community College and The Oregon Coast Culinary Institute (OCCI) will host its 6th annual New Year’s Eve Ball on December 31, 2015.  This year features a “Steampunk” theme.  Festivities for those 21-years and older begin at 8:30 pm and include gourmet food, DJ and dancing, no-host ice bar, silent auction, and a New Year’s countdown complete with a champagne toast. Tickets are $40.00 in advance and last year the party sold out! 

The ball is sponsored by the Culinary Club with all proceeds going towards sending Chef Instructor Chris Foltz and four students to compete at the January 2016 National Ice Carving Association’s U.S. National Collegiate Championships in Frankenmuth, Michigan.  The students have been training for several months for this competition.  OCCI is one of the few schools in the country that offers students a chance to learn the art of ice sculpting.  The competition also serves to highlight the unique opportunities available to the students of OCCI and Southwestern Oregon Community College that cannot be found elsewhere.

For additional information or to purchase tickets please contact Shannon Poynter at (541) 888-7189 or shannon.poynter@socc.edu.
