Clarke, The Ultimate Kitchen Resource Center is the award-winning setting for Culinary Cabaret. The venue features a kitchen-theater classroom and gallery of designer kitchens, providing an inventive backdrop to eat, drink, learn, and celebrate.

Electric Youth members serve as American youth ambassadors while presenting concerts domestically and abroad. EY performances on the 2012 15-concert tour of Austria and Italy include a return Fourth of July engagement at Aviano Air Force Base to entertain U.S. Troops and families stationed abroad.

"EY's Fourth of July concert for our Troops at Aviano Air Force Base resonates with me, says Rodney Poles, Marketing and Community Relations Manager, Whole Foods Market. My uncle worked at the Base as a carpentry and woodworking teacher for the Troops. My family lives ten miles from there and I visited often as a child. I am proud to support EY and partner with FPAC in the launch of Culinary Cabaret, an exciting culinary and performing arts showcase. I am especially pleased that Whole Foods Market is present at the beginning for what should become a signature, destination event in our region for years to come."

The ticket price of $60 per person includes delicious food, fine Italian wines, distinctive craft beer, mouthwatering desserts, and exciting entertainment.
