FULTON – Singer, songwriter and guitarist Tim Forbes will provide the musical entertainment for Oswego County Opportunities (OCO) Giving Thanks Food and Beverage Pairing event.
Since teaching himself to play guitar in his early adolescence, Forbes has grown into a skilled musician and performer offering an eclectic range of styles to please everyone’s musical tastes; folk, pop, alternative, classic rock and more. A featured performer at clubs and restaurants throughout Central New York, Forbes has entertained crowds at events for Oswego Health, the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation, Ballpark Brewfest at NBT Stadium and the NYS Fair. From The Beatles and Elton John to Ed Sheeran and a few of his original tunes, Forbes delivers an exciting and entertaining performance.
On Friday, November 1st Forbes will showcase his musical talents in Oswego as he provides the entertainment for OCO’s Giving Thanks Food and Beverage Pairing event.
Presented by G & C Foods and Eagle Beverage, OCO’s Giving Thanks Food and Beverage Pairing event will be held at the Lake Ontario Event and Conference Center on East First Street in Oswego. Giving Thanks serves as a vehicle to highlight OCO’s many programs and services and as a fundraiser in support of the agency’s “There’s No Place Like A Home” initiative.
“We envision a community where everyone has a safe and secure place to call home,” explained OCO Development Coordinator Bridget Dolbear. “‘There’s No Place Like A Home’ is a theme that has permeated throughout all of our activities and events this year. For the past 58 years OCO has been a lifeline for hundreds of individuals and families facing challenges, including developmental disabilities, addiction, mental health issues, domestic violence and homelessness. Our 24-hour residential programs such as the domestic violence shelter, homeless residences, homes for people with developmental disabilities and behavior health issues provide more than just a roof over their heads, they are safe places for people to plan for their futures and become self-sufficient. Proceeds from our Giving Thanks Food and Wine Pairing event will support programs that are aimed at providing those services.”
A food and beverage pairing like none other, OCO’s Giving Thanks will feature food samples from some of the area’s finest and most popular restaurants and eateries. Food stations throughout the venue will offer attendees the opportunity to enjoy a wide assortment of delicacies paired with beverage samples especially chosen to complement the foods featured at each station. There will also be a number of drawings, an upcycled art auction, and live entertainment.
“We’re pleased to have Tim join us for our Giving Thanks Wine and Food Paring event,” said OCO Development Coordinator Bridget Dolbear. “His performance will bring some added excitement to our event.”
