Local food showcase in Canton
A Little Taste of Local will offer samples from locally owned restaurants and markets on Oct. 13 at Champion Credit Union in Canton.
Some of the local favorites participating include Waynesville Soda Jerks, Black Bear Café, Fat Belly’s, The Imperial, Nettie’s Bakery and Papertown Grill. They will also be joined by KT’s Orchard and Apiary, Shady Brook Farms and Duckett’s Produce as market vendors.
“We are blessed with so many locally-owned restaurants and fresh local vendors in the area,” says Noralynn Gudger, Marketing and Communications Manager with Champion Credit Union. “We wanted to find a way to help them gain exposure and give our members and the community a chance to try what they have to offer.”
The local food showcase is a part of the CU Lunch Local initiative. Understanding how each and every dollar spent locally can impact the entire community, they wanted to find a way to encourage that spending.
“Champion Credit Union believes wholeheartedly in supporting the communities that support us,” says Jake Robinson, President of Champion Credit Union. “This market is a great way for us to show that support.”
