The Greater North County Chamber of Commerce and the City of Florissant hosted 27th Anniversary of the Chamber’s Business Showcase, featuring a “Taste of North County” at the James J. Eagan Community Center in Florissant last Saturday.

Local businesses and organizations had tables featuring the products and services they offer to the community. There were over 60 booths and attendance was over 1,000. Special attractions included activities for children such as balloon artwork and face painting.

The “Taste of North County,” showcased 12 local restaurants in an area of the community center that designated for this event. Patrons sample some of the great cuisine available in North County. A dozen restaurants, several new to the area, participated.
