Event Information

 On November 7th, the Pilot Club of the Twin Cities will host its 14th annual Taste of the Twin Cities from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Monroe Civic Center in Monroe, Louisiana.  The evening will showcase local restaurants featuring samples of such delicious food as to please the palate of even the most selective of Epicureans!  Retail exhibitors offer opportunities to shop from an array of specialties that will delight everyone from the casual browser to the most seasoned of shoppers!  There will be door prizes and a silent auction as well.

 

Each year the event gets bigger and bigger.  Last year there were over 40 vendors and restaurants to eat and shop from, all under one roof! 

 

What better way to tantalize your tastebuds and do your holiday shopping all at once (or even sample around to help decide who to cater that holiday party)?
