Save The Date: Taste of Florence 2012
Save the Date
With over 3,500 guests in attendance for the inaugural Taste of Florence in October 2011, plans are well underway for the follow-up this Fall. In fact, because the first event was so well attended – the fire marshal had to close the doors three times – it will be held in the Florence Civic Center arena this time around. Can you believe it? It outgrew the full ballroom in a single year!
The date is Tuesday, October 16, 2012 and it will be open to the public from 5:00pm to 9:00pm that evening. Of course, we’re planning to be there and I’m thrilled share with you that I’ve been asked by the organizers to again serve as a judge. Can’t wait. We’ll post additional updates as we get closer to the date.
For now, here are a few links with memories and highlights from last year. Whether you attended or not, you’ll want to check these out.
