Mark your calendar: Taste of the Town – Friday, September 27th
It’s time for the Taste of the Town in downtown Front Royal, VA. Though originally scheduled in April, the weather did not cooperate and the event was rescheduled for September 27th. The weather forecast plans to be much friendlier this time. The FRIBA volunteers have been busy preparing for another great evening of family, fun and food. Local restaurants again will be on Main Street bringing you a “taste” of their food.
It’s an evening of fun for all! There will be plenty of things for the kids to do, and plenty of tables and chairs for the rest of us. There will be music by River Driven, a local group featuring Shae Parker, Stacy Horton, Tim Grant and Andrew Schaeffer. You’ll be pleasantly surprise with their selection and talent.
