Taste of the Springs is a fund raiser for Care & Share Food Bank. Tickets for the "Taste" are $65 per person. This is enough money to feed a child for almost six months! Frankly, the event is even more fun if you come with a group of friends. A reserved table for 10 people is only $650.

For most of us, $45 of our ticket price is tax deductible. Please check with your tax adviser.

Corporate tables are available for $800. When you purchase a corporate table you receive a reserved table for 10 people, a full page advertisement in our program book, and a sign with your company's name on your table.

Each guest will receive a commemorative wine glass. The program book will contain recipes from participating restaurants.

At this year's "Taste" we will have 30 of the finest restaurants and catering companies in Colorado Springs and 10 beverage distributors. Each restaurant will serve a portion of one or two menu items that they believe best showcases the restaurant's style and quality. The beverage distributors will pour red wine, white wine, gourmet coffee, beer, soft drinks, and custom bottled water. This is an amazing value for the price of your ticket.

We will have two other activities this evening: The Wheel of Good Taste, and a Silent Auction.

The Wheel of Good Taste is similar to a Wheel of Fortune you might find in a casino, but with our wheel there is no gamble. You hand us $20 and spin the wheel. No matter where your spin stops, you are a winner because each spot on the wheel has a gift certificate worth $25 or more. That is an immediate 25% return on your investment.

At the Silent Auction tables you will find items valued from $20 to several hundred dollars.
