Six restaurants and six bands go head-to-head in the Guitar Strings vs. Chicken Wings contest Sept. 6 at Squaw Valley.

The 6-10pm event in the village benefits the Tahoe Institute for Natural Sciences.

Each restaurant will be cooking their signature recipes for spicy, flavor-packed chicken wings, while the region’s best bands do their thing.

Entry is a $5 donation to enjoy the wing and drink specials, as well as the opportunity to pick the the winners. Restaurants will battle for the Wing vs. Wing Champion Trophy as well as Wing and Band Best Pairing. Bands will be battling for their own prize.
