Amazing Grazing—The Taste of Garrett County is just around the corner May 12 at the Ag Hall on the Garrett County Fairgrounds from 5:00–8:00 p.m., and we’re asking you to support it. This night matters. You’ll get to sample delicious bites from 30+ Garrett County restaurants and meet the owners and chefs who make our local food scene so special. But most importantly, your attendance fuels what we do: this is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and it’s what helps us keep bringing high-quality performances to Garrett County. Ticket sales for shows alone simply don’t cover the full cost of artists (fees, food, and lodging). When you come to Taste of Garrett County, you’re directly helping us keep great events and entertainment possible—like the Washington Symphony Orchestra, Abba Tribute Mamma Mania, Scotty Hasting Music and more. As a 501(c)(3) organization, we truly rely on this evening. Please make plans to attend—bring a friend, enjoy an incredible night of food, and help us keep the arts and live entertainment strong right here at home.
Don’t forget to bring your ID, and plan to enjoy the beer and wine that will be for sale. Get your tickets now and help us make this year’s fundraiser a success: https://app.arts-people.com/?show=300704 . Tickets are $45 in advance and will be $50 at the door the day of the event.
We really hope you’ll join us—your attendance makes a real difference. See you there!
