‘Taste of Lawrence’ moved to Holidome

The “Taste of Lawrence” fall mixer will be held as scheduled Wednesday evening, but in a new location, Hank Booth said Wednesday afternoon.

La Parilla employee Colin Pilant goes over the various forms of salsa available to Melody Buchholz, Eudora, during the Taste of Lawrence event Wednesday. Wednesday’s rain prompted organizers to move the event, which features various foods from local vendors, to the Lawrence Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive. Watch the 6News video report of the event at LJWorld.com.

The event will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Lawrence Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive.

The event honors contributions by the area’s educators from early childhood through college and features food from 26 local vendors.

More than 1,500 chamber members and educators in Lawrence and Douglas County are expected to attend the event.
