As you walked through the downstairs area of Showplace there were food stations by  Bimini’s Oyster Bar, Blue Water Grille, Dan Thai Jazz Bistro, Liberty Steakhouse, and Peppermoon Catering just to name a few.  It was only $5 to gain entrance into the event and the food tickets were $1 each.  We ended up purchasing chocolate to bring home with the tickets we had left over because there was no way we could eat one more bite.

Event goers were having fun sampling the many food options and dancing to the tunes of Timeless and MTP DJ Productions.  It was definitely an evening worth attending.

A special “Thank You” goes out to Hospice for all the wonderful work they do and to everyone who attended last night event.

Taste of the Town offers some amazing food and gives you the chance to sample some of the local fair for a very reasonable cost. Tickets to enter the event are only $5 and food tickets are $1 each. Samplings range from one to four tickets which is not bad considering all proceeds will help cover the cost of the amazing services offered by Hospice of the Triad.

In addition to the very tasty cuisine there will be two stages of entertainment and if this year follows past years plenty of opportunity to show off those dancing shoes.
