Special Events Center sale completed
“I feel like we got the events center as a Christmas present,” said Denise Hutchison of From Scratch Catering and Event Planning and Blue Heron Events.
Hutchison, her husband, Paul, and their son, Aaron, now own the former Rescue Hose Co. Special Events Center property at 407 S. Washington St., Greencastle.
The $365,000 transaction was completed Dec. 5, some two years after it was first considered and following the resolution a Catch-22 zoning hurdle.
From Scratch
Last week alone, From Scratch Catering fed more than 1,000 people.
“If I can feed 20 people, I can feed 2,000 or 4,000,” Denise said, adding it is commonplace to peel potatoes for hundreds.
She learned in the kitchen from her own and Paul’s family and her favorite thing to cook is her grandmother’s pan fried chicken and buttermilk biscuits.
“And those are two of my favorite things to eat,” Aaron added.
About 98 percent of what they cook is from scratch, with Aaron specializing in sauces, both sweet and savory.
Denise started catering close to 30 years ago and owned Mary G’s Deli at the corner of West Howard Street and Maryland Avenue in Hagerstown from 1991 to 1995. Aaron and his sister, Jessica, had their own slice of business there with a “lucrative snowball stand.”
They sold the deli to move to Winona Lake, Ind., when Paul went to seminary at Grace College.
