Eat Drink Saratoga Announces Inaugural Festival to Showcase Saratoga\u2019s Finest <\/em><\/strong>
\n——————————
\nEditor’s Note: Folks. because I have experienced things like these – of similar size and structure – most noticeably in Northampton, MA a few times – I have been wanting to see something like this happen in 12866 for quite some time… So, I’m rooting hard for the organizers here…<\/p>\n

But this remains a story in progress. There’s much doing to be done, as it is with many inaugural events. But it sounds like they have several supporters, which is never a bad thing.<\/p>\n

So, we’ll see what happens. Hope it happens. <\/p>\n

Below are the details as to why you should be rooting for it too – courtesy of Megan Baker Public Relations – which even makes me more optimistic – good luck guys! -AG <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\nSARATOGA SPRINGS \u2013 Eat Drink Saratoga will bring together local restaurants, breweries, distilleries, wineries and cider makers at an inaugural festival on Saturday, June 30, in downtown Saratoga Springs. Eat Drink Saratoga will take place at the Saratogian parking lot located at 20 Lake Avenue. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to create a food festival that truly showcases the variety and quality of food that downtown Saratoga has to offer,\u201d said Jillian Petercsak, founder, Eat Drink Saratoga.<\/p>\n

Tickets are currently on sale for the food and beverage fest, which will allow guests to taste delicious offerings from roughly 15 local restaurants and dozens of craft distillers, regional breweries representing New York, Massachusetts and Vermont, as well as hand-selected area wineries. A follow-up announcement of the complete festival lineup and sponsors is forthcoming \u2013 although several major commitments (see below) have been made at this time. Tickets are available for two sessions from 1 to 4 p.m. and 5 to 8 p.m., as well as a VIP hour from noon to 1 p.m.<\/p>\n

Adirondack Trust and Druthers have signed on as premier sponsors with other confirmed participants including Hamlet + Ghost, Comfort Kitchen, Fish at 30 Lake, The Blue Hen, Salt + Char, Henry Street Tap Room, Buddha Noodle, The Brook Tavern as well as Chatham Brewing, Adirondack Brewery and Tommyrotter Distillery. <\/p>\n

The $60 general admission ticket includes access to and sampling from all breweries, cideries, wineries and distilleries as well as a souvenir sampling glass. The ticket price also includes two $5 food tokens to be used at any participating restaurant\u2019s booth. <\/p>\n

A dish from participating restaurants will start at $5. VIP admission tickets for $75 are also available and include access to a limited admission preview of the event with rare bottling and special tastings of premium spirits, beers, wines and ciders. Also, you can purchase a Designated Driver Admission ticket for $30 – which gives you access to the event with a special non-consumption bracelet in addition to two $5 food tokens. In any event, you must be 21 years of age or older to attend.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Ten percent of all of the event proceeds will be donated to Saratoga County Children\u2019s Committee, Inc. (SCCC). SCCC is a non-profit organization based in Saratoga Springs dedicated to meeting year round emergency and basic needs of underprivileged children throughout Saratoga County. SCCC sponsors the Empty Stocking Project, Summer Campership Program and a Back to School Program. For more information on SCCC, visit www.saratogachildrenscommittee.org.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Saratoga County Children\u2019s Committee is excited to be a part of Eat Drink Saratoga\u2019s inaugural event this June,\u201d said Staci Mannion, member, SCCC. \u201cWe\u2019re grateful to be a recipient of the festivities which will make it possible for us to continue supporting the underprivileged youth throughout our community and all of Saratoga County.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adirondack Trust and Druthers have signed on as premier sponsors with other confirmed participants including Hamlet + Ghost, Comfort Kitchen, Fish at 30 Lake, The Blue Hen, Salt + Char, Henry Street Tap Room, Buddha Noodle, The Brook Tavern as well as Chatham Brewing, Adirondack Brewery and Tommyrotter Distillery. <\/p>\n
