4th Annual Taste of Pickens a Huge Success
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009Last Saturday hundreds of Pickens County residents and their friends from around North Georgia got a real treat as 4th the Annual Taste of Pickens was held on the Appalachian Campus of Chattahoochee Technical College in Jasper, GA. The event is sponsored by CARES (Community Assistance Resources and Emergency Services) as a fund raiser for the local food pantry. All the fantastic food was donated by local restaurants, caterers and grocery stores so all of the proceeds go to supporting the food bank and helping to feed those in our community in need of occasional support. CARES is just one of the outstanding non-profit organizations that make Pickens County one of the most remarkable counties in the country. My wife and I attended and had a great time, but I did not have the foresight to record the event for this column. Fortunately, Beth Compton of Southern Home Inspections and JasperPickensCounty.com did take the time to write a nice article and post a video. Beth offered to let me post it here, so here is the link to Beth’s story on A Taste of Pickens. See you there next year and until then we’ll…
See you ’round the Mountains.
