Get A 'Taste Of Summit' This April

SUMMIT, NJ - For more than three decades the Taste of Summit event is inviting patrons to dine and socialize with family, friends and neighbors for the benefit of the Summit Historical Society.

The event is set for Sunday evening, April 7 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at The Grand Summit Hotel located at 570 Springfield Ave.

According to organizers, the “Taste of Summit” is a gourmet extravaganza featuring more than 20 of Summit’s finest restaurants and food merchants. Each restaurant will be serving delicious “tastes” showcasing their special dishes spanning many cuisines, including Italian, American and Mexican. There will also be scrumptious desserts from Summit’s finest bakers and a cash bar, organizers said.

The Taste of Summit is an event for the entire family, organizers said. While parents indulge in their favorite “tastes”, children under the age of twelve will be enjoying their own eats and special activities while listening to music from Paul Fessock of Summit’s World of Rock.

During the Taste of Summit, there will be a drawing of the winning raffle ticket for three prizes:

• An overnight stay for two with dinner and breakfast at The Grand Summit Hotel
• Brunch for two at Winberies
• Lunch for two at Summit House.

The $5 raffle tickets are now on sale at The Carter House located at 90 Butler Parkway in Summit on Tuesdays 9 a.m. to noon and Wednesdays 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and will be available for sale on the night of the event.

Organizers said the Taste of Summit is the key fundraiser for the Summit Historical Society, an all-volunteer not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of Summit through The Carter House Museum and its archives.

All of the funds raised will help the Society continue its mission of safeguarding records, documents, maps, books and artifacts as well as antique furnishings and clothes connected to the history of Summit and making them available to the public at the Carter House, which is the oldest house in Summit.

Tickets for the Taste of Summit are on sale now; priced at $50 per adult and $20 per child, ages 6 through 12. To ensure a place at the table, call 908-277-1747 or send a check payable to The Summit Historical Society, P. O. Box 464, Summit, NJ 07902-0464.
