The 2007 America's Home Town Thanksgiving Food Festival on the Plymouth Waterfront was once again a great success! The pavilion opened full of hospitality at approximately 11:00 AM with a continuous line of people waiting to get in and taste the creations from Cabby Shack,14 Union Dockside Bar & Grille, British Beer Company, Jubilee, The Blue Eyed Crab Grille & Raw Bar, Stoneforge, Panera Breads, Shops @ 5, Hills Home Market and Cabot Cheese. Our volunteers were there to greet over 2000 people who enjoyed chowders, soups, desserts, steaks and good cheer.
All the patrons had the opportunity to cast their votes for their favorite tastes. Everyone enjoyed the entertainment, from the Pirates who sang sea chanteys and enthralled the crowds, to the chefs and our judges Billy Costa, of TV Diner and Channel 7 News Anchors, Randy Price and Frances Rivera. This event has grown to be a key factor and expected part of the annual America's Home Town Thanksgiving Celebration.
