During “Taste,” local restaurants and caterers show off their specialty menu items in smaller portions.
Crosby said that applications for restaurants and caterers are still being accepted.
Meanwhile, she went on to say that plans are in the works for the entertainment and other activities that are also part of “Taste” each year.
