THE FESTIVAL THAT ATE CHESTERTOWN

DESPERATE DINERS CONVERGE IN WILMER PARK  It’s been on the social radar for months, and finally on Sunday 4.27.08, Wilmer Park saw the first of what is likely to become an annual event, the Taste of Chestertown.

     
OUTSIDE THE TENT, SURVIVORS GATHER                   CHESTER VIEW FROM A TABLE AT THE TASTE

 A live band, silent auction items, food and beverage vendors, and probably more attendees than organizers anticipated were crammed into a wee tent. In fact some people went into the tent with the intention of walking around and getting some food, but so many people crammed themselves in that movement was impossible and few were able to escape and remain inside as I write this. In a nutshell, attendees were heavily white which lent a segegrated feel to the event, the top rate food was a bargain, and loads of money was raised for charity.
