Restaurants can still sign up for Annual Taste of the Town
The Junior League of Fort Myers is extending the deadline for restaurants to sign up for its 33rd Annual Taste of the Town.
Thirty-five restaurants have already signed up for this year’s event, which will once again be held on Nov. 1 at JetBlue Park, the Boston Red Sox’s Spring Training and Player Development Complex, at 11500 Fenway South Drive, Fort Myers.
The Junior League’s Taste of the Town is Southwest Florida’s original “taste” event and one of the largest outdoor food and entertainment festivals.
The 2014 event attracted nearly 15,000 attendees.
Funds from the event benefit the JLFM, whose volunteer mission provides thousands of dollars annually in volunteer services and donations to programs supporting women and children in the region including the Junior League’s national program Kids in the Kitchen to help fight childhood obesity, the ongoing work with at-risk girls in the juvenile justice system, as well as work throughout the community in partnership with many organizations through the JLFM’s Helping Hands program, which provides volunteer woman-power to organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Abuse Counseling & Treatment Shelter, Early Learning Coalition, the Supporting Independent Young Adults organization and more.
Last year’s event raised the second highest tally in the history of the event, bringing in $133,000.
According to JLFM Taste of the Town chairs Karen Hutto and Shirley Snyder McLaren, interested restaurants and vendors have until Oct. 1 to reserve a spot by calling (239) 277-1197 or emailing totrestaurants@jlfm.org. Space is limited.
