“This is phenomenal. We’re so excited. It’s a night of great food, great fun and a great charity.” — St. Armands Executive Director Diana Corrigan

More than 800 people gathered at St. Armands Circle for the sixth annual Taste of St. Armands Saturday.

Twenty-one local businesses sampled their food and drinks, and guests enjoyed live music and a fashion show by Les Ciseaux.

The night’s charity was Take Stock in Children, which offers college scholarships to low-income, academically qualified students. The winner of the 50/50 raffle, Lynches Pub & Grub owner Jason Burns, donated his $565 in winnings to the charity.
