That delicious smell wafting throughout the area little more than a week ago was the smell of success - and a lot of of tasty treats.
From pizza to doughnuts to delicacies that would require some dressing up if you ate them in a restaurant, the taste buds were treated in a fashion that, well, can only happen once a year. You know, at a special event — an event like The Taste of Parker County, which was held at Heritage Park on April 18. The event, being held for the 15th year, benefits the Weatherford College Foundation.
It also featured more than 20 vendors, including local restaurants, caterers, bakeries, coffee shops, and breweries, offering sample-sized tastings of their most popular offerings in an “all-you-can-eat” format.
The day began with a strong forecast of rain. However, by the time the dining got underway the sun was shining bright.
"The event went great. Could not ask for better weather!" exclaimed Susan Sodek, the event's lead organizer and WC advancement specialist. "Attendance was strong. We sold over 500 tickets. The Weatherford College Jazz Orchestra kept the crowd entertained. Overall, it was a fun night."
The day also featured awards. Attendees were asked to vote for their favorites. The results are:
