DDRA prepares for annual Taste of Darlington
The Darlington Downtown Revitalization Association is looking for grillers, cooks, table hosts, and sponsors for the biggest social gathering in Darlington, the annual Taste of Darlington. The Taste is scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, April 12, in the garage area at Darlington Raceway.
You can participate in one of four ways:
1. Griller: Fire up your grill or fryer and cook your favorite meaty recipe. Past dishes have included Boston butt BBQ, beer-can chicken, fried oysters and shrimp.
2. Table Host: Gather a variety of sweet or savory dishes to decorate a large, round table with decadent desserts or finger foods. Previous hosts have put up fabulous floral displays, chocolate fountains, coffee bar, sushi platters and pasta.
3. Sponsor: Show your commitment to the community and get your business in front of new customers with your banner displayed throughout the event. Sponsors receive 4 tickets per $500 donated and their banner displayed at the event as well as recognition in press releases and online. Top-level sponsors ($1,000 level) will have their logos on all print ads and flyers.
4. Attend: Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the gate. Guests must be 21 or older to attend.
This year’s event will fund free concerts among other community projects, such as beautification projects and improvement incentive grants, among other things. For more information contact Lisa Rock DDRA Director, at 843-398-4000 ext. 103 or
