Enjoy a bit of the flavor of Central Baldwin when the Central Baldwin Chamber of Commerce hosts its 12th annual Flavors of the South wine and food tasting event from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, July 23 at the Baldwin County Coliseum in Robertsdale.

“The event is a premier showcase for local wine, beverage and restaurant locations, their chefs and culinary personalities,” says Chamber Director of Operations Jamie Mangion. “This is an opportunity to get involved with a large community event that allows for consumer exposure and involvement with attendance of more than 400 people.”

Restaurants, caterers, wine and beverage vendors from across Baldwin County are expected to participate in the event. Participants do not have to be chamber members.

Tickets are $25 each and are available at the chamber office. You may also purchase a table of eight for $200.

The event will also feature entertainment, a silent auction and a 50/50 drawing. Silent auction items are donated from area businesses to assist the chamber in bringing in operating funds.

The chamber is also selling raffle tickets for a cruise for two of your choice (not to exceed $1,000) on Carnival Cruise lines. Tickets cost $5 each or $20 for five tickets.

For more information on participation, tickets, raffle tickets or silent auction items, call Jamie at the chamber, 251-947-2626.
