COMMUNITY CORNER

TASTE OF MISSISSIPPI- MARCH 29 
 

taste of ms

The 22nd annual Taste of Mississippi was outstanding this year! The event featured culinary delights from more than 40 fine restaurants, a silent auction and live music by Pryor and the Tombstones. All of the proceeds benefitted Stewpot Community Services, whose mission is to provide for the needs of the homeless, elderly and disabled in the Jackson metro area. 
 

Sophia's Restaurant Chef, Gary Hawkins, prepared Creole Red Bean Cassoulet for the event, which was a favorite among guests. At the event, we had a drawing for a romantic dinner for two at Sophia's Restaurant- We would like to congratulate Phil Pringle for winning this drawing!!

 

The Fairview Inn & Sophia's Restaurant always looks forwards to participating in the Taste of Mississippi. Thank you to everyone who came by to see us! We appreciate all of your support and thank you for supporting Stewpot. For more information or to see information on other participating restaurants, please visit: www.atasteofms.org
