Seen at Taste of Evanston 2017

My friend Jesse Hall and I did our part to cover the Evanston Lighthouse Rotary Club's third annual Taste of Evanston at Charles Gates Dawes House last Sunday. Some of the notables enjoying the food and the vibe included Tim Kazurinsky, Illinois Senator Daniel Biss, Cook County Commissioner Larry Suffredin, Evanston mayor Steve Hagerty, plus CBS-2-Chicago's Vince Gerasole. 

More photos are up on Facebook. Evanston Magazine featured some of our photos online. A couple students from the Daily Northwestern covered it, too.
