(Lynnwood, WA) - The Lynnwood Convention Center has been selected as the location for the 2009 Sample South County, April 29 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00pm.

Produced by the South Snohomish County Chamber of Commerce, Sample South County is a local food and beverage expo where members of the community are invited to taste the finest selections of food, wine and beer from local restaurants.  The event features top restaurateurs and caterers throughout Snohomish County as well as live music, and gives attendees a chance to network with other local business people and community members.
 
"The restaurant industry was hit early and hard by the recession. It is significant that Snohomish County's local food and wine vendors continue to provide a quality product and work for their employees," said Chamber CEO/President Jean Hales. "This is a great opportunity to support and recognize the local restaurants, wineries and breweries that continually ad value and stability to our community."
 
Participating restaurants, include: Billy McHales, Boston's, Buca di Beppo, Jersey Mike's Subs, Scott's Bar and Grill, Sparta's, The Keg, Rose Hill Chocolate Company, Echo Falls Golf and Catering, Wine 101, Red Hook Brewery and more...
 
"This promises to be a great community gathering.  And we are pleased to partner with Chamber in presenting this 1st Annual event," said Kelvin Moore, SMG's General Manager for the Lynnwood Convention Center.  "Our Executive Chef Michael Felsenstein will participate as well, and will give local wedding and special event planners a chance to sample his outstanding culinary offerings."
