League City -- Culinary Arts students at Clear Springs High School cooked up quite a feast at the third annual Culinary Arts Extravaganza. The event featured nine guest chefs and Chef Lann Perkins who runs the Culinary Arts Program in CCISD. They worked with student chefs to create a night of food and fun. Entertainment was provided by the Clear Brook High School Jazz Band and the Clear Springs High School Orchestra.
Guests sampled the tasty work of the Culinary Arts program and had the opportunity to bid during a silent auction. The Culinary Arts Extravaganza was held at Clear Springs High School, 501Palomino Lane League City 77546, on April 23, 2010 from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM.
