Get your taste buds ready and put on your dancing shoes in preparation for the 5th Annual Taste of the Valley. Cheese curds, breadsticks, and burrito bowls are just a few of the many delicious delicacies in store. For those of you with a sweet tooth, prepare to indulge in wide array of scones, ice cream cupcakes, cookies, and an ice cream sundae bar. If all that isn’t enough to make your palate water, this year’s event will incorporate coffee, smoothies, iced drinks, and an all-new beer garden into the menu. The festival is on June 5 from 11am to 5:30pm at Phoenix Park, and will feature local artists including Dead Dogs, Left Wing Bourbon, and The Gentle Guest for your listening pleasure. Admission is free, but tastes will range from 1-4 tickets ($1/ticket) with portions small enough to sample several treats. So whatever your flavor, come on down to Phoenix Park and get a “taste” of what the Valley has to offer.
