We had so much fun at Taste the Event’s Family Cookout at Maple View Farm, thanks to participants like Fetch Hot Dog Co., Back Porch Orchestra, Cyndi’s Faces and of course, Maple View Ice Cream.
Johnson Lexus is the signature sponsor of TASTE 2016. A portion of the proceeds benefit the Durham branch of the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina.
