Taste of Vermilion

Magdalen Place
2 S. Magdalen Square
Abbeville, LA
Notes:
The Greater-Abbeville-Vermilion Chamber of Commerce fall fundraising event is going to be an evening of great food and great music and you’re invited! The Eighth Annual Taste of Vermilion is sure to be one of the best.
Area chefs will prepare their favorite menu items from one of four food categories—soup, salad, entrée, and dessert.
Each ticket holder will receive five food vouchers. Each voucher is good for a sampling of any one of the evening’s food offerings. And for those who might want an extra serving or two of their favorite dish, there will be supplemental food vouchers for sale at $1 each.
Spend an enjoyable evening with friends and associates and help the Chamber, all at the same time. Sounds like a winner! For more information or to order tickets for this popular fall event, call the Chamber office at 893-2491. Lynn or Shelley will be happy to help you.
Thank you for your help in spreading the word!
