Many years ago, "Eat the Opening" was a regular event in the Old Bisbee Arts Community. Last year Bisbee's Obscure Productions brought back the fun, the edible art and the entertainment for its first fundraiser. They are now readying their second annual event. Patrons will view, judge and eat edible artwork on the afternoon of Sunday, January 21, 2007, at the St. John's Episcopal Church Hall, 19 Sowles Avenue in Old Bisbee.

Artists in three age categories will create the edible art. Local dignitaries will judge the results, not on taste but on artistic merit. Prize categories are: Best Kids 8-12, Best Teens 13-19, and for Adults, Funniest, Most Original and Most Elegant. There will a Silent Auction and entertainment all evening. Entertainers will include La Luna Tunes and Becky Reyes.

Entries will be dropped off between 2:00-3:00 pm on the 21st. Viewing begins at 3 pm and "Eat the Opening" at 5 pm.

Tickets for adults in advance will be $12 at Atalanta's Music & Books, the Bisbee Food Coop and Bisbee Visitors Center. Adults will be $15 at the door. Tickets for kids accompanied by an adult and teens will be $5 at the door only.

Tickets for entrants will be $8.
