On Sunday, March 12, the GRC hosted 15 local establishments and nearly 300 attendees at Rostraver Central Fire Hall for the 3rd Annual Taste of the Town. The Taste of the Town is a way to showcase locally owned and operated food and beverage establishments.

Pictured (l-r) are representatives from the People’s Choice Award winner, The Carriage Inn, with GRC representatives: Kelly Vargo, Gina C. Lynn (GRC Director), Dominique Tolomeo, and GRC board member Lynn Grimes.

Attendees were able to sample and sip the offerings of appetizers to desserts and everything in between. Favorite items included corn chowder, pulled pork, favored cheeses and kielbasa, smoked wings, ice cream, whiskey and wine, and a variety of bakery items.

Attendees voted for their overall favorite establishment and the winner was awarded the People's Choice Award. This year's winner was The Carriage Inn, located at 1601 Lovedale Road, Elizabeth.
