Big Taste Nominee: Outdoors for All
The University Sunrise Rotary Club hosts an annual event at Magnuson Park called the Big Taste. The Big Taste is where we discover the latest wines, beers, ciders, and spirits from the Pacific Northwest. We sampled new favorites from great Northwest Wineries, Distilleries, Cideries, & Breweries! Over 500 people attend and it is one of the most fun events of the year.
The event is a benefit. This year, the recipient will be chosen from among four nominated organizations. Each organization has made an application to the Club and will talk to us about what they are trying to accomplish.
On September 8, we heard from Outdoors for All.
