Hispanics United for Perry (HUP) will be teaching several people how to cook in traditional Latin American style this weekend.

Cooking with HUP takes place Saturday at the McCreary Community Building.

Perry Chamber Executive Director Bob Wilson says it will be a hands on, educational and fun program.

“Traditional tacos (with) corn tortillas, flour tortillas, we’re going to do Mexican salads, watermelon, dessert… a lot of people have told me this is kind of there date day to take their significant other and kind of learn something and have some fun.  There’s nothing better than to share food with the friends and family that you have.”

Plus, all of the money raised from the event goes to help students through scholarships for Perry High School graduates.

The cost is $25 and it takes place from 10am until 1pm Saturday.  For last minute registration, contact Angelica Cardenas at 490-6037.
