The event, which returns to Main Street at Lakewood Ranch on Friday, Nov. 3, provides patrons with a hand-painted bowl, and soup and bread that is donated by area restaurants.

With 17 restaurants donating 5 gallons of soup each for the Nov. 3 event, Phillips and those who attend might just find a new favorite this year, or something completely different.

Phillips said the delicious soups are just part of the fun as the patrons have taken particular delight over the years in finding just the right bowl. Among those donating bowls are the Lakewood Ranch High ceramics students, State College of Florida, crafter Terrie McNamera, Art Center Manatee, the Florida West Coast Woodworkers Club, and the Cascades of Sarasota Clay Club.

If You Go
Empty Bowls. 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Nov. 3. Main Street at Lakewood Ranch. $35 in advance; $40 at the door. Visit: https://mealsonwheelsplus.org/EmptyBowls/

What you get: A hand-painted bowl to keep, and soup and bread donated by local restaurants

Benefits: The Food Bank of Manatee, a Meals on Wheels Plus of Manatee program

Did you know? The event symbolizes the importance of coming together to fill the bowls of friends and neighbors in need.

Architecture Sarasota's MOD Weekend celebrates its 10th birthday

For full article:

https://www.yourobserver.com/news/20...kend-birthday/

Who is Victor Lundy? How did he leave his mark on Sarasota? To find out the answers to these questions and to have a little fun in the process, don't miss the 10th Sarasota MOD Weekend sponsored by Architecture Sarasota.

MOD weekend, from Nov. 2-5, will appeal to architecture aficionados, professional partygoers, outdoor enthusiasts and yoga practitioners, depending on which events you choose to attend. Full freight for all the festivities is $400 for a weekend pass, but you can sample various events with a la carte pricing.

Some events are self-guided driving tours so it helps to have access to wheels of one kind or another. There's even a kayak tour of North Siesta Key on Nov. 3. It doesn't require a kayak (they are provided), but you do need to know your way around a paddle.
