Welcome to our blog! We thought this would be a great way for you to get acquainted with the Taste of Mississippi event and keep up with all the latest news and updates.Taste of Mississippi has been a much anticipated event in the Jackson area for more than 20 years, and we're proud to announce that it has been named a Top 20 Event for March 2009 by the Southeast Tourism Society. The best events across the Southeast compete to receive this prestigious designation. The Top 20 Events publication is sent to more than 1,600 newspapers, magazines, radio stations, TV stations and AAA publications - reaching millions of people.
Taste of Mississippi is the largest fundraiser for Stewpot Community Services in Jackson. All proceeds benefit Stewpot, whose mission is to serve the needs of the poor, elderly and disabled in the Jackson area. Last year's event raised more than $112,000, all of which went directly to Stewpot's 17 ministries. This year, we hope to raise even more money!
So mark your calendars for Monday, March 30, 2009, from 7 to 10 p.m. at Highland Village!
The event includes culinary tastings from more than 40 fine restaurants, a live auction featuring Mississippi artwork and vacation packages, a silent auction and live music.
