You Could Win $200 If You’re Fastest Server in Utica – But How?

Do you think you have what it takes to be deemed the "fastest" server in Utica? You could win $200 if you prove yourself.

Made in Utica is bringing the 'Server Sprint' back to downtown Utica with the 2nd annual 'Server Sprint,' a race that pits the fastest servers with the best tray-handling skills against each other to fight for cash, prizes, and of course, the glory of being crowned the winner.
