For more than three decades, Lexington Taster’s Choice, a fundraising event for Yellow Brick Road Early Learning Center, has delighted attendees with a taste of the best dishes from Lexington’s local restaurants and caterers.
On Saturday, May 6, Taster’s Choice will take place for the first time since the pandemic started and continue with the Kentucky Derby theme that it has embraced for the past four occurrences.
“I’m excited to be leading return of this historic event,” commented committee chair Cooper Carroll. “It is not only a fun experience, but also it supports a great cause.”
Donned in their seersucker, pastels and Derby hats, attendees will not only embrace the unique equestrian essence of the Virginia Horse Center but also enjoy local food, beer, wine, and, of course, mint juleps.
The event, which goes from 4:30 until 8:30 p.m., also features a silent and live auction that provides attendees the opportunity to purchase bargain packages involving lake vacations, fine art, unique dining experiences, and more. Activities also include live music by former Lexington resident Evan Stack, a hat contest, and the viewing of the 149th Kentucky Derby.
Due to support from sponsors, including lead contributions from Lambert Cleaning and Kappa Alpha Order, tickets are available for purchase in advance for just $50 at LexingtonTastersChoice. com. Tickets will also be available at the door.
“As our largest fundraiser of the year, YBR is so grateful for the generous support of our local community in hosting this event,” said Misty Camden, executive direc tor of Yellow Brick Road. “We can’t wait to see everyone there!”
