The rain did not stop the appetites of those who came, as vendors from all over the area put their food up for tasting. Participants dug in and tried a little bit of everything.

This is the fourth year of the event, and according to Tri-Town Chamber organizer and volunteer Kathy Griffin, it's as well attended as previous years.

"We have a lot of walk-in people who came in last minute, which is great," she said. "Last year it rained as well and we had some great turnout too."

All proceeds go to food pantries in the three towns. Last year, the event raised $6,800, and collectively the event has raised over $18,000 over the past three years. Food pantries including in Foxboro, in Mansfield and Cupboard of Kindness in Norton.
