Taste of Glendale helps Healthy Kids
By JO ANN STUPAKIS
Tickets for A Taste of Downtown Glendale are on sale now. For only $25 for adults and $10 for children under age 12, guests can enjoy a family evening of food and entertainment from 5:30 to 8 p.m. May 14. This event is sponsored by Glendale Healthy Kids.
Stroll among 28 great restaurants on and around Brand Boulevard. Visit Fast Frame and taste the food of New Moon, while Massage Envy will be hosting Latin fusion cuisine from Sabor.
All the while, you’ll be serenaded by music from the Crescenta Valley, Hoover and Glendale High School bands. In addition, the Glen Roberts Big Band and the Latino Boyz will be on hand to entertain guests. An added attraction will be raffle baskets donated by Nestlé USA, and the tickets are free.
Tickets are available at many locations. Visit www.glendalehealthykids.org for more information and to order tickets online.
