Home Loan Taste of the Grand Valley is United Way of Mesa County’s signature annual fundraiser that has raised more than $400,000 over the years. A family favorite for 17 years, it is the biggest and tastiest food festival in town. Exhibitors provide samples of their food and beverage, and participants enjoy an evening of tasting and fun, all while supporting United Way of Mesa County.

Exhibitors compete for “Best of Taste” awards. Attendees vote for their favorites in categories like: main dish, appetizer, drink, dessert and more! If you'd like to see who's taking part this year, go to: http://www.unitedwaymesacounty.org/taste-grand-valley/.
