LHSEF's "Taste of Lemont"

From 5-11 p.m. on Saturday, September 7, the Lemont High School Educational Foundation will host Food for Thought: Taste of Lemont near the Metra Lot in downtown Lemont. This fun, family-friendly event will feature live music and some of the best food and beverages the Lemont community can offer!

Tickets are on sale now and are $10 if purchased in advance ($15 in person at the door). Admission is free for ages 14 and under, and also free for Lemont High School students with a valid student ID.

The Taste of Lemont is the LHSEF's most important annual fundraiser, and it again will be open to all ages. Parents, students, younger siblings, community members ... all are invited!

As with previous years, the format will be typical of a Taste of... event, with food tickets purchased on site and redeemed with the vendors. Each restaurant will have multiple options on its menu.

The line-up of 14 food and beverage vendors has been set, with 12 returnees and two newcomers. Returning vendors include Barrel & Vine, The Creamery, Digs on Canal (feat. Gelsosomo's Pizza), Heroes West Lemont, Jimbo's Pizza, LHS Blue & Gold Athletic Boosters, Mama D's, Matt's Barbecue, Moreno's, Pollyanna Brewing Company, Rosati's Pizza, and Wooden Paddle. Newcomers include Folklore Coffee and Rosebud Lemont. Menus will be finalized leading up to the event.

In addition to outstanding food and beverages, the Taste of Lemont will feature live music, including the return of headliner Mike & Joe! Don't Talk to Strangers, featuring Joe Fascetta, will open the entertainment, and the evening also will include a Split the Pot fundraiser.

The Taste of Lemont will be a rain or shine event.

The LHSEF has awarded more than $575,000 in grants to aid Lemont High School's students, faculty and staff since 2007, as well as more than $125,000 to help make the CITGO Innovation Academy a reality. A primary reason it has been able to provide that level of support is the success of the Food for Thought series.

Proceeds from Food for Thought benefit the LHSEF, whose mission is to partner with the community to make lasting improvements to Lemont High School that will enhance the total educational experience for all of its students. The Foundation funds and supports programs and opportunities that aid students growth, both academically and as citizens of the Lemont community. The Foundation is a not-for-profit charitable organization. All gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent provided by the law.
