Taste of Palm Harbor

One of the most enjoyable local events of the year is coming up this Sunday — the annual Taste of Palm Harbor, which will be held from noon to 6 p.m. in historic Old Downtown Palm Harbor, which is centered around Florida Avenue between Alt. 19 and County Road 1.

This year, 20 local restaurants will be taking part, offering samples of their best dishes in exchange for tickets that you buy for 50-cents each. Most of the dishes cost three to six tickets, but a few are a little more.

Half of the money raised goes to the restaurants; the other half goes to the sponsor, the Palm Harbor Women’s Club, which dispurses the money to such charities as the the Humane Society of North Pinellas, Hospice, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and a number of others.

This year a second event is piggybacking on the Taste of Palm Harbor. Palm Harbor Fire Rescue will be celebrating 50 years of service to the community at the same time. An open house will be held between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. at Station #66, 1123 Illinois Ave.

A fish fry will start at 11:30 a.m. and there will begames, rides, exhibits and an antique fire truck exhibition.
