Warren County to show off its good taste Saturday
The Chamber of Commerce will be holding its second annual Taste of Warren County fund-raiser this Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at McMinnville Civic Center.
Tickets for adults are $8 in advance and $10 at the door. Children 4 to 12 years are $4 in advance and $6 at the door and children 3-and-under are free. Tickets are on sale now at the Chamber of Commerce, Bi-Lo, Middle Tennessee Natural Gas, Ben Lomand Telephone and the Inn at Harvest Farms Lake.
Mary Robbins of Magness Library and Diane Morton of the Inn at Harvest Farms Lake are co-chairs of the event and they would like to invite everyone out to enjoy some great food and Southern hospitality.
Taste of Warren County will feature a wide variety of foods to sample with around 50 booths from local and regional vendors to choose from. There will also be arts and crafts booths and a special area with children’s activities on the upper floor of the Civic Center.
“This is one of the Chamber’s big fund-raisers for the year,” said Chamber president Lea Chrisawn. “And it’s in cooperation with several area food providers. Everybody provides something good to eat and some provide coupons as well. There are just a lot of good things, and some great door prizes this year.”
The door prizes include a gas grill donated by Middle Tennessee Natural Gas, four Bridgestone Turanza passenger tires donated by Bridgestone/Firestone, a personal computer and DSL modem donated by Ben Lomand Telephone, an Intuitive blender donated by Sunbeam/Oster and an outdoor fireplace donated by Bi-Lo.
A Taste of Warren County will also present several “how-to” seminars this year, including “Cake Decorating for Beginners,” “Healthy Snacks,” “It’s Beginning to Taste a Whole Lot Like Christmas,” and “Gift Wrapping for all Occasions.”
