MANSFIELD – The Richland Area Chamber & Economic Development is planning its 9th 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 celebrates all things culinary in our area, featuring mouth-watering appetizers, entrees, desserts, pastries, and beverages from some of the region’s finest restaurants, caterers, bakeries, delis, and beverage companies.

New this year, sponsor businesses will face off in a fiery wing-eating contest, adding a fun twist to the evening’s entertainment. Guests can also enjoy a seasonal beer tasting featuring unique brews from local partners.

Entertainment and a silent auction will take place throughout the evening, with attendees invited to bid on a wide selection of items.

Entry is $30 per person when registered by October 10, 2025 ($40 after Oct. 10). Guests will enjoy samples from 29 food vendors, a cash bar, and live music.

The public is encouraged to attend for an evening of great food, fun, and early holiday shopping through the exciting auction experience.
