A Different Approach to Taste of the Grand Valley
For several weeks now we have been hearing about a different approach to this year s Home Loan Taste of the Grand Valley, the annual fundraiser for United Way of Mesa County. Due to the pandemic, a gathering of more than 1,000 people in an enclosed space to sample food was not possible this year, but this has not deterred United Way from finding a way to make the Taste happen.
In lieu of Taste of the Grand Valley, United Way of Mesa County has put together Ticket to Taste coupon booklets featuring offerings from more than 40 Grand Valley restaurants, breweries, wineries, coffee shops, and food vendors. The booklet is filled with coupons that, in most cases, can be used at these merchants between now and the end of August.
