EDITOR: I am pleased to announce that this year
’s Taste of Morgan Hill was a huge success and had
record-breaking crowds. This year’s festival would not have been as
successful without the support and assistance of the many
volunteers, sponsors, chamber staff and board of directors. Without
them, there wouldn’t be a Taste of Morgan Hill so
they deserve all the thanks they can get.
