Downtown Fresh Taste Event Set for Oct. 1
Sunday, September 22, 2013 at 10:06AM FreshTaste returns to downtown Anderson for its second year on Oct. 1 in the East Church Street Parking Lot at 6 p.m.. The event showcases local food and emerging artists with special wine and craft beer tastings.
“Last year, the event was well received and we expect an even more exciting experience for attendees this year,” said Arlene Young, Downtown Development Director. “Many communities, including Anderson, are renewing the focus on local buying power and the quality of the food we eat. This is an opportunity to build on that trend and to highlight the variety we have available here.”
The City of Anderson has partnered with the Anderson Area Food and Farm Association (AAFFA) as the centerpiece for FreshTaste, pairing local restaurants with local farms to offer a unique culinary blend.
The public will be invited to sample offerings from the following dynamic duos of cuisine:
SummaJoe's/Polecat Farms
Friends/Walker Century Farm
Bleckley Inn/Hurricane Creek Farm
Tavern Under the Bridge/Split Creek Farm
Tokyo Bay/Putney Farm
Uptown Lounge/Happy Critter Ranch
Sullivan's/Timm's Mill
Doolittle's/Early Bird Farm
Music for the evening will include acoustic jazz by The Carl Neil Duo, Andy Fleming and Brad Pearson.
Five local artists will be on hand to present their work, including Michael Curry who will paint on-site during the event. And this year, FreshTaste brings literature to the venue with the addition of “Author’s Alley.” The book “Little Wren Lost and the Teakettle Call” written by Beth Batson and illustrated by Scott Foster, published locally and now garnering statewide attention, will be featured.
