Ballots are $8 in advance, and $10 at the door.* Ballots will go on sale at Native Roots Market the week before the event.

Purchase of a ballot entitles you to taste any or all of the dishes and vote on your favorites, plus 2 complimentary beverages from the Brewhouse.

*All proceeds benefit Dreamer Concepts Studio (www.dreamerconcepts.org) a non-profit arts organization located in Downtown Norman. Dreamer is a non-profit arts gallery whose mission is to provide opportunities for new and emerging artists in our community.  We feel that Dreamer's mission is similar to ours at Native Roots Market of provide opportunities for local farmers and artisan food producers. Both organizations embrace and promote the concept of buying locally, whether it's food or art!
