National Iced Tea Month -
June 2008
Did you know June is National Iced Tea Month? To commemorate this Southern tradition, The Plaza at Preston Center is hosting its second annual Best Iced Tea Contest on Sunday, June 8, 2008 from 1-4 p.m. to find the best iced tea in the Metroplex. Come taste the wide array of iced tea samples from participating Dallas-area restaurants to determine which restaurant truly has the best iced tea in Dallas - whether its a "mom and pop" shop or a prominent Dallas restaurant. The public’s vote will determine the People's Choice Award alongside a panel of "celebrity judges" who will be handing out the Judges’ Award for the best version of this classic refreshment.
Tasting ballots will be sold in participating Plaza stores in advance and the day of the event to sample the many tasty versions of this summertime favorite. Ticket pricing is available at multiple levels:
- $5 (children)
- Gold level - $10
- Platinum level - $20.
All tasting ballot purchases will be included in a raffle with tons of prizes – the higher the price level, the better the prize. Come join us for this fun-filled family event with activities for the kids. All proceeds from the Best Iced Tea Contest will benefit the North Texas Food Bank.
Bringing Hope to the Table
presented by Kroger
June 11-24, 2008
When shopping at your area Kroger, purchase special products with yellow tags, and a portion of the purchase price will support the North Texas Food Bank’s effort to end hunger in North Texas. We would like to thank Kroger and all the companies involved in this Bringing Hope to the Table program for their effort to fight hunger and for supporting the North Texas Food Bank’s work.
