Taste of Collin County a success
Pegasus News, TX - |
MCKINNEY — Collin County residents apparently know a good deal when they see it as the parking lots at Collin County Regional Airport were filled for the Taste of Collin County on Monday night. Food vendors, representing such McKinney staples as McAlister's Deli, Jalapeno Tree, Hooters and Chipotle, set up in booths alongside new businesses On The Border and Genghis Grill to serve a hungry public. A paid ticket to the event meant all the free food one could eat. To say the event was a success would be an understatement. More than 1,000 hungry people walked through the huge hangar doors at the airport - and forced the opening of the overflow parking lots - to sample some of Collin County's finest foods... North Collin County Habitat for Humanity was served well by the event. Taste of Collin County was held to raise funds to help the organization build 6-to-10 new homes in Collin County for people in need. North Collin County Habitat for Humanity has built 32 homes in the area, with two more presently under construction. The organization receives no government grants for construction; rather it relies on the kindness and generosity of the businesses, leaders and citizens of the community to raise funds. ...There were also the awards to hand out at the end of the night... Best Dessert award went to McAlister's Deli...
