“Back to School” is the theme for the Taste of Bryant on July 30, at The Center at Bishop, 6401 Boone Road. Delicious food from local restaurants, delis and caterers will be showcased along with items from local merchants donated for the silent auction.
“This is one of the most relaxed, fun events the Chamber puts on,” noted Rae Ann Fields, Executive Director. “There is no timeline to follow. You come whenever you want between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. You sit wherever you would like and you eat what you choose from a wide variety of foods.”
Tickets are $15 in advance and $25 at the door for adults. Kids under 6 eat free. Youths from 7 to 12 years of age are charged $5. Call 847-4702 or go to www.bryantchamber.com and click the date (July 30) to order tickets.
Ideas for Silent Auction to go with the theme (any donation that promotes what you do in your business is good regardless of how it applies to the theme).
