Save the Date - Taste of the Region is Back - Oct 24

28th Annual

Taste of the Region Event

Save the Date!

The "Taste of the Region" is back! This exciting event enables a restaurant/food vendor to showcase their specialty to a large audience—free of any fee! I hope you will join us this year as I believe that this event will provide you and your business with many benefits both now and for the future.

Date: Tuesday, October 24, 2017
Time: 6 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Location: Tri-County Reg. Vocational High School
147 Pond Street, Franklin, MA 02038

Last year's event drew a record crowd of well over 500 attendees. Guests are primarily employees of the many companies and residents around our 16-town region.

This magnificent evening features creative and abundant samples from the wonderful restaurants around the area, enhanced by a beautiful setting, music and a great crowd. Load-in and set-up will be between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on the day of the event. Participants are encouraged to promote the event at their establishments!

Participants will be expected to provide:

Approximately 300 hot or cold samplings of dishes that best reflect their restaurant or hotel.
Sternos to keep food warmed as there will be limited electricity to the individual tables.
One or two volunteers to assist with serving food and answering questions from guests. This is a great opportunity to talk about the participant's business!
Marketing material, menus, etc. to decorate your table. Be creative!
White linens for a 6-foot table (tables will be provided).

There are approximately 25 FREE participant opportunities available at this time.
The Taste of the Region committee will provide each participant with five complimentary tickets for the event.

If you would like to participate, the completed Food Vendor Participation Agreement must be received by the United Regional Chamber of Commerce prior to October 13. Please note, our Taste of the Region participants must be either a member in good standing of the United Regional Chamber of Commerce, or must donate a $50.00 (or two $25.00) gift certificate(s) to their establishment (to be used in our Silent Auction).
