SOUPer Bowl!

Can you believe the Super Bowl is almost here? It seems like yesterday that the Saints were just celebrating their very first win at the Super Bowl. On February 6, the Steelers will face the Packers. Super Bowl XLV will kick off at 6:30 ET (5:30 CT) on Fox. They will compete for the NFL Championship at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas-Fort Worth.

While the two best football teams in the NFL come to a head, restaurants in Jackson will be competing in the 14th Annual SOUPer Bowl for the "Best Soup of Jackson trophy." Proceeds will help feed thousands of people in the metro area through the social service programs of The Salvation Army, Jackson Corp. The SOUPer Bowl begins at 11:00 a.m. and continue until 2:00pm. There will be a silent auction with items on hand such as signed football from the Gator Bowl Championship Coach Dan Mullen from Mississippi State!

Don't miss out on the fun at the Sparkman Auditorium of the Mississippi Ag Museum on Super Bowl Sunday! Artisan Gail Pittman is back in the metro area and will

be on hand to sign bowls.

"This is a great event for the public to enjoy gourmet soup from some fantastic local restaurants while at the same time helping support our efforts at the Salvation Army to feed those in need in our community," said Captain Chapman with the Salvation Army.

You can purchase tickets on bfac.com for $25.00.
