Taste of Tamarac

It was the 12^th anniversary of the Taste Of Tamarac at the Tamarac Community Center. I’ve only recently found out about this annual event. When I heard tickets were only $ 8.00 for samples of food from over thirty restaurants I had to check it out.
The event ran from 11:30 am to 3 pm. Since I had other things to do in the morning Clyde and I didn’t get there until about 1 pm. I was worried they would have already run out of food since we got there late. A few tables were running low, but there was plenty left. The room was large with tables lining the walls. In the center of the room was more tables. It was crowded but there was room to walk around. There were no long lines for food, although there may have been earlier.
The food offerings were good, some better then others. There was sandwiches, pizza, rice and beans, chicken, donuts, several Caribbean dishes and much more. Soft drinks were two for $ 1.00.
Parking was a problem. When we got there several spots were empty in the parking lot. In spite of that the entrances were blocked and we were told to park over two blocks away. It seemed like a long walk in the afternoon heat.
It was a nice event. People were friendly, the food wasn’t fancy but it was pretty good. I’m glad I went and I’ll comeback next year.
