Downtown Sebring Co-Hosted Taste of the Race
Vintage race cars park around Downtown Sebring's Circle for Taste of the race attendees to view. |
On March 18, the Greater Sebring Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Sebring hosted the "Taste of the Race." Each year, nearly 2,000 people help kick off the annual 12 Hours of Sebring with this gastronomic tour of Downtown Sebring. The historic sports cars arrived downtown from the track via police escort around 11:00 a.m. and the excitement began. Once the cars parked around the Circle, attendees of all ages had fun looking inside the vintage race cars. In addition, vendors were on site with food, beverages and fun activities.
"This is a fun way to see antique race cars and set the tone for our town's annual endurance race," said Greg Harris, President/CEO of the Greater Sebring Chamber of Commerce. "This annual event brings locals, tourists and race fans together for delicious food and a really great time."
