Taste of the Gardens 2014,

Wellfield Botanic Gardens, Elkhart,

Thousands attended.

While Evelyn and I, helped selling food and drink tickets, thousands of visitors enjoyed the restaurants & entertainment located around the gardens, as well as the talented artisans with their paintings, sculptures,jewelry and glass art. I was able to take some pictures before reporting to our appointed booth.

Here are some of the pictures I took at the festival.

Over 20 Restaurants brought their specialty dishes to the people to taste and enjoy,

advertising their local businesses.

The artist enjoyed the attention of the thousands of attendees.

The Entertainment continued throughout the day with several entertainment groups and individuals

Of course Wellfield Gardens had it's own draw throughout the grounds with it's flowing beauty.

The Elkhart Rotary Club did a fine job making sure all the event booths ran smooth during the event.

Hi Will, When the best reastaurants in town bring out their big guns in food, you know that you're going to eat well, and listening to some great music st adds to the experience.

These kinds of events are so much fun. And, a great way to check out restaurants that you might never walk into. Sampling is a fun thing to do.
