Taste of the Town Fundraising Event

Hagerstown, MD - Frank Malejko was licking his fingers.  That's how good the carrot cake from Rik's Cafe was, though the Hagerstown resident also was quick to point out he also enjoyed tastings from Misty Meadow Farm Creamery and Stonewall Tavern.  Malejko was one of more than 500 people in a packed ballroom at Hager Hall Conference & Event Center on Sunday for Reach of Washington County's annual Taste of the Town.  "We come every year. ... It's a great fundraising event," said Malejko, 71, of Hagerstown.  Seventeen restaurants and caterers donated food for what is Reach's biggest annual fundraiser, said Jodie Ostoich, the nonprofit's executive director.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
