The Mattapoisett Women’s Club will hold its 9th Annual Taste of the Town at Shipyard Park on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. This highly acclaimed food tasting event on the pristine shores of Buzzards Bay features Mattapoisett’s finest dining establishments all together in one place under the Lions Club tent.
“Taste of the Town is one of our biggest fundraisers and is supported by—Gail’s Goodies, How on Earth, Nick’s Pizza, the Inn on Shipyard Park, On the Go, Oxford Creamery, Turk’s Seafood, Ying Dynasty and more,” said Eileen Marum, President of the Mattapoisett Women’s Club. “All of our vendors are tremendous and supportive, and all club members are eager to make this a banner year for students through scholarships.”
All proceeds are given back into the community, either through scholarships or flower plantings. Flowers can be viewed at the post office, Center School, Town Hall and at Town Beach.
This spring, the club awarded an unprecedented $4,000 to Mattapoisett scholars. “I am grateful to each and every member and our vendors,” Marum said. “We couldn’t do this without them.”
Entertainment comes courtesy of the extraordinary and energetic Showstoppers, a singing troupe of local girls and boys.
$10 will buy 20 tickets for the event. Each ticket is good for one taste at each table. The event will be held rain or shine. For more information, contact co-chairs Lois Ennis (508-758-2188) or Eileen Marum (508-758-9751).
