Get a 'Taste of Barrington' Saturday

Get a taste -- a big taste -- of Barrington on Saturday evening, Jan. 12, to benefit the East Bay Coalition for the Homeless.

Ten of Barrington's restaurants and eateries will be serving up samples of their food at Grapes & Grains liquor store at 24 Bosworth St. from 6 to 8 pm.

The cost is $20 per person. All proceeds go to the homeless coalition.

Enjoy music while you eat and drink?
