This event would not be possible without the financial sponsorship of AEP/Indiana Michigan Power. We say thank you for supporting our local food vendors.
There are many other individuals and businesses that donated their time and/or needed items. The community and the Jay County Chamber greatly appreciate your commitment in making this local food event happen. We look forward to the Taste of the Holidays next year.
Now get out there and explore what delicious food our community really has to offer and don’t forget these businesses during the holidays. Many of them are available to cater holiday events, and they also offer gift certificates for your loved ones.
Happy Holidays.
