Bettendorf — On Saturday, March 5, from 6:30 – 10:00 pm, the Family Museum will host “The Kids’ Table: A Grown-Up Helping,” an exclusive, one-night fundraising event for grown-ups featuring gourmet twists on classic kid food composed and prepared by local chefs and businesses.

There will be live music by 10 of Soul and silent auction items. Awards will be given for the best dish, drink, or dessert of the night, and one community member will be honored for their work with both the Family Museum and the Quad City Area.
