Never Been to Taste of the Town? If you've never been you won't want to miss it this year. After experiencing tremendous growth the event was moved to a new venue in 2006, Agricenter International. Returning for our 3rd year at Agricenter we expect more than 500 guests to attend and enjoy tasting the scrumptious generous samples provided by 40 different restaurants, caterers and beverage vendors including Italian, French, European, Chinese, Mexican and American cuisines. Guests also will enjoy browsing all the items up for bid in our Silent and Live Auctions. We typically have 100+ items due to the generosity of more than 100 area businesses and individuals who donate their goods and services. Through their donations and the generosity of our Live Auction participants, the Chamber was delighted, for the seventh year in a row, to grant not only one wish but two wishes to two separate area children with life-threatening medical conditions through the Copyright © 2001 by Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce |
