Taste of Transylvania 2019
On the evening of May 7, the Transylvania County Schools Educational Foundation (TCSEF) hosted the 2019 “Taste of Transylvania” at the Brevard Lumberyard. With approximately 15 local restaurants and caterers providing their most creative and amazing appetizers, entrees, and desserts, the Foundation raised money to support the annual Creative Classroom Grants for teachers and educational opportunities for Transylvania County Schools students. Our thanks to TCSEF Executive Director Shannon Allison and the “Taste of Transylvania” committee for all their work organizing this highly anticipated and successful annual fundraising event.
