A Taste of Phoenixville: January 19, 2012 was the date of our 10th Annual 'A Taste of Phoneixville.' It was a huge success! This years event was held at Franklin Commons and our generous corporate sponsors were Phoenixville Federal Bank and Trust, Party Rental, LTD, Robert Ryan's Columbia Station, and Choice Party Linens and more! Our media sponsor was Phoenixville Dish. With your help we raised over $40,000 for the shelter's work and had over 400 attendees. We can't wait to see you in 2013! All of the restaurants who attended the Tenth Annual A Taste of Phoenixville were exceptional. As you may know, this year we had a friendly competition where each event attendee was given a ticket to vote for their favorite vendor. It was quite a close competition and only a few vendors broke 20 votes, but the vast majority of restaurants were in the teens. It just goes to show the quality of all of our restaurants and caterers, that at an event with over 400 people, no restaurant received more then 6% of the votes. We thank all our participating restaurants and caterers and look forward to working with them again next year! The top ten restaurants and caterers (in alphabetical order, not by votes) are:
