The Atmore Area Chamber of Commerce’s 12th annual “Taste of the South” will be held tomorrow night at Heritage Park.

The event will start at 5 p.m. and continue until 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 each for a taste of five samples, and can be bought at the chamber office and at the event gate.

Taste of the South is a special event where local restaurants and cooks offer samples of some of their best dishes, and the tasters judge their favorites. The event also serves as a chamber of commerce fundraiser.

Chamber Executive Director Sheryl Vickery said any organization is welcome to be a vendor for the event.

“There are four categories they can win in,” Vickery said.

The categories are Best Commercial (restaurants) taste, the Best Amateur Taste (organizations, clubs and distinctions), Best Decorated Booth and Best Dessert.

Providing entertainment for event goers will be the Escambia County High School jazz ensemble.

“The young talent around here is amazing,” Vickery said. “We decided to go to the school and ask them to play for us.”
