Paul Donnelly

Fort Collins, CO – October 2, 2018 – Fall is in the air and that means it’s time for the annual Taste Benefit, the foodie event of Northern Colorado. Those attending this year’s event will enjoy samples of unique cuisine prepared by chefs from local restaurants paired with flavorful wines and craft beers from local beverage purveyors. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the area’s fabulous food and beverage culture while helping fight hunger in our community.

This year the Taste Benefit promises to be extra-special as it celebrates its 25^th Anniversary. In addition to delicious food and drink, attendees can enjoy a live jazz band in the ballroom, a DJ in the pavilion and bid on fantastic silent auction items, including a New Belgium Cruiser and a gift card from Chimney Park restaurant, just to name a few. There will even be a Flashbox Photo Booth to capture the evening’s fun and festivities.

VIP ticket holders will enjoy extra benefits, including early entry at 5 pm, delicious food from The Still Whiskey Steaks and drink from CopperMuse Distillery.
