So what exactly is Taste of the Town you ask? Well to start, it is considered the best fundraiser ever by many, if not all, of the people who attend, and it is our 2nd highest grossing fundraiser after the Rock-A-Thon. At the event there will be approximately 16 different local restaurants that bring samples of their food. With the purchase of a ticket, you will be able to get samples from each of these restaurants which will easily make up a full meal (you will not need to eat a separate dinner this evening.) Check out the following list of the restaurants which have committed to attending.
So where can you get the tickets that will allow you to eat food from all of the above restaurants all in the same meal, and how much are they? The tickets are being sold by the band students and are $15. Five tickets were distributed to the students to sell on Friday, November 20th and any students who need additional tickets can get them from the directors. All money and any unsold tickets need to be returned by Monday, November 30, 2015. E-mail cshsbandtasteoftown@gmail.com if you have any questions.
As with many of the other fundraisers that we do, we can raise the most funds if tickets are sold to not only your own family but also to friends, neighbors and co-workers. They also make great gifts for classroom teachers. So lets all do our best to make this evening a success. Students don’t forget to purchase a ticket for yourself (or have your parents purchase it for you) in order to partake in all that the restaurants have to offer. Students will need to eat before 7:00 PM.
