In our e-newsletter last week, we let folks know that we would be giving away two (2) tickets to this year’s Birmingham Share our Strength’s Taste of the Nation event on August 25 at the McWane Science Center. We’ll announce the winner in this Friday’s edition of the express, so you probably want to get over to our contest page and enter.

The annual event to help eliminate childhood hunger nationwide is sponsored by American Express and will feature food from more than 40 area restaurants.

We know that even if you don’t win these tickets, you still want to head out to the event or give what you can to it for the local charities that will benefit, Pathways and Magic City Harvest.  You can visit the Taste of the Nation’s website to learn more about ticket prices and the area businesses participating.
