Food. Okay now that I have your attention (it works every time with college students) I want to tell you about this AWESOME event we just got back from yesterday. It is called, The Taste of Perry. What is the Taste of Perry you might ask? Imagine, a one stop shop for EVERYTHING you want for prom season, now add about 10 different food vendors handing out samples by the plateful.
