Taste of Lakeville returns for ninth year Rotary-sponsored event adds beer, chef demonstrations, more musical acts by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Some elegant beverages coupled with culinary splendor and surrounded by sacred beauty is but a quick jaunt away to downtown Lakeville this coming week. The Rotary-sponsored Taste of Lakeville returns from 5 to 9 p.m. May 12 to the Lakeville Area Arts Center for its ninth year of various and sundry gastronomic fare and entertaining musical offerings. New this year are chef demonstrations, a beer tasting, an expanded layout and a new country band. There will be more than 30 food and beverage vendors, including Casa Nostra, Porterhouse, the Chart House, Lakeville Liquors, College City Beverage and Molly Cools, among many others. Lakeville Liquors will offer more than 400 different varieties of wines for tasting, said Steve Michaud, Lakeville’s Parks and Recreation director and a Rotary member involved in Taste’s yearlong planning process.

“Without Lakeville Liquors’ support and effort, I don’t think Taste would be possible,� he said. This year, country band Chasin’ Mason will join the Dweebs and Michael Loonan to provide the soundtrack to Taste. The beer tasting will feature beverages from a number of microbrewers, including Cold Spring (Glueks), Summit and Alaskan.

Auctions and more In addition to satiating the wine and culinary appetites of attendees, Taste of Lakeville also is known for its live and silent auctions. This year, as in many years past, Brackett’s Crossing Country Club donated a membership worth $12,000. Other items include tropical vacation packages, meals, scooters, video games, local hotel packages, gift certificates to a variety of local retailers and Twins tickets. Dave Oswald, See Taste, 3B

Lakeville, which sponsors the event, has donated thousands of dollars to local organizations throughout the years. It will reinvest the proceeds from Taste back into the community, Michaud said. There are dozens of beneficiaries of the Rotary’s largesse, but among those are Lakeville high school students (by way of $25,000 in college scholarships), Beyond the Yellow Ribbon, Friends of the Environment, the Lions’ Puppet Wagon,

the Lakeville Senior Center, the Salvation Army, the Special Olympics, Pan-O-Prog, the Heritage Library and Sobriety High School. For Michaud, this is the best part of the Taste of Lakeville. “The end result,� he said, “is what makes it fun.� For a schedule of events and other information, go to Taste’s website at www.tasteof-lakeville.org/index.html.

Taste usually entertains about 2,000 visitors, Michaud said, but to accommodate growth, event organizers expanded the festival’s footprint. “We’re pushing the entire program out into the parking lot north,� he said. “That whole area will still be fenced off along with the rest of the (Taste) site.� Michaud said there will be more picnic tables, as well, to keep things from getting too crowded. “The crowd keeps growing,� he said.
