MANSFIELD – The Richland Area Chamber & Economic Development is planning its ninth annual Savor & Sip Auction and Food Tasting.

The event will take place on Oct. 23 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Mid-Ohio Conference Center in Mansfield.

Businesses in the food industry, such as restaurants, caterers, and food trucks, are invited to have a table at this event to offer tastings of their food and promote their businesses. 

There is no charge for Chamber member businesses to provide tastings. A non-member rate is also available.

The Savor & Sip event is a celebration of all things culinary in our area, from mouth-watering appetizers, entrees, desserts, pastries, and beverages from some of the area’s finest restaurants, caterers, bakeries, delis, and beverage companies.

Entertainment and a silent auction will also happen throughout the evening, allowing attendees to bid on a large selection of items.

This event is limited to 550 guests and is typically a sell-out crowd. Entry for attendees is $30 per person when registered by Oct. 15. Attendees will enjoy food samples from 20+ food vendors, and a cash bar will also be available.

The public is encouraged to attend to enjoy the food and live music, along with getting a jump on holiday shopping by bidding on a vast number of auction items.
