The 15th annual \u201cTaste of the Town\u201d moves to the McVean Gym at Jefferson\u00a0Community College from 11 to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 7, 2018. This\u00a0exciting and successful fundraiser has become an annual favorite throughout the North Country, drawing more than 1,000 people each year.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaste of the Town\u201d will feature approximately 30 local restaurants and businesses offering food and beverages for all to enjoy. Booths will be set up throughout the McVean Gymnasium at Jefferson\u00a0Community College, featuring delicious sample-size servings of appetizers, entrees, desserts, beverages, and much more. A panel of local celebrity judges (Mel Busler, Chef Chris Manning, Pope Vickers and Gordon Block) will be on hand to award participating restaurants various honors. Musical entertainment will be provided by Tom Gagnon.<\/p>\n

The event\u2019s new Jefferson County Community College gymnasium location offers additional space for\u00a0more restaurant and food and beverage participants, as well as more, easily-accessible parking. The event was previously held at the State Office Building in downtown Watertown.<\/p>\n

Watertown Sunrise Rotary has partnered with the Northern New York Community Foundation to manage and disperse event proceeds. This partnership allows an additional local nonprofit to be awarded a $5,000 grant from Taste of the Town proceeds. The winner was chosen through RFP\u00a0submissions and will be announced live at the event Saturday at about 12:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

The 2018 Taste of the Town is graciously presented by its Title Sponsors: United Food Service\u00a0Operators and Reinhart Food Service.<\/p>\n
