We set a record!!!

All the money has been calculated, and we raised a record-setting $114,000 for Stewpot during this year's Taste of Mississippi! And this figure could go even higher as people continue to purchase Taste of Mississippi merchandise.

Speaking of merchandise, you can still buy Taste of Mississippi T-shirts and aprons on our website at www.tasteofms.org. These items make great Mother's and Father's Day gifts! There are only a limited number available, so be sure to order yours soon.

A couple of other things...
• Congratulations again to the 2009 Taste of Mississippi restaurant award winners: Best EntrĂ©e - Biaggi's, Best Appetizer - Walker's, Best Dressed Table - Atlantica Grille, Best Dessert - Crazy Cat Bakers.
• We'd like to say a special thanks to our sponsors, participating restaurant and beverage vendors, partners, volunteers, in-kind donors and ticket buyers.

And finally, mark your calendars for Stewpot’s next big fundraiser, Trustmark’s Red Beans & Rice Festival, which is scheduled for Saturday, October 31. Held at Trustmark Park, the event is fun for the entire family. Be watching for more information closer to the event.

Thanks for helping to make Taste of Mississippi such a great success!
