My family is so excited as we have been invited to attend TASTE ADDISON and this is our first time to participate in the event. Or to even visit Addison. I can’t wait to be able to check out everything they have for us to do at the Festival. Be watching afterward as I will be back to share out thoughts with you as we were given three tickets for my family to attend.
