Participating restaurants and caterers who will be serving up tastings this year include Bella Vita Catering, Doppelgangers Restaurant & Bar, Indigo, Genoa Lakes Resort, Panchita's Killer Salsa, Scolari's and Wasabi, with more expected.
As for the raffle, in addition to the prizes from each booth, E Squared C is providing a Toshiba laptop computer, valued at $650, to one lucky attendee.
The event is open to the public. A special business-to-business hour, where exhibitors get a chance to network with each other, takes place from 2 to 3 p.m. There is no charge to attend the showcase or for a raffle entry.
Event sponsors include GE Energy, The Record-Courier, Scolari's, E Squared C, 99.1/KCMY and Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare. A limited number of exhibitor booths are still available to chamber member businesses.
