Taste of Harrison Gathers Momentum for June 10

A Taste of Harrison Readies the Menu to Support the Harrison Public Library

(Harrison, NY) Dozens of Harrison restaurants and merchants are preparing their offerings for A Taste of Harrison scheduled for Sunday, June 10. Library supporters who make a modest donation to the library will receive wristbands enabling them to sample the delectable fare offered by restaurants in downtown Harrison.

“A Taste of Harrison is a great event for the town,” says Mayor Ron Belmont. “It showcases the downtown restaurants and merchants and raised money for the library. Plus, you get to enjoy some excellent food. It’s a win-win-win for everyone.”

Restaurants, merchants who donate raffle prizes, and other contributing sponsors including Willow Ridge Country Club underwrite the costs of the event so that all proceeds go to support the Library through the Harrison Public Library Foundation. A cadre of HPLF volunteers makes it all possible.

“I’m very excited that the Taste of Harrison has returned for 2018,” says County Legislator Nancy Barr. “It’s a fun (and delicious!) way to raise money for the Harrison Library. Many thanks to the restaurants, volunteers and residents who come together to make the day a success.”

A Taste of Harrison is scheduled for 11:30 AM to 3 PM on Sunday, June 10, in downtown Harrison. To join the fun, library supporters purchase wristbands that identify them to the participating restaurants. Wristbands are $25 in advance or $30 the day of event for adults. Children are $15 and those 4 and under are free. They can be ordered online at www.harrisonpl.org/taste-of-harrison or at the downtown Halperin Library or West Harrison Branch Library. Wristbands can be picked up at the downtown library on June 9 or at the HPLF information table the day of the event.
