97.1 The River Is Radio Sponsor of Event at Grand Hyatt Buckhead
ATLANTA (April 14, 2010) – The Capital Grille, Coast, Seasons 52 and Joel Brasserie are some of the Buckhead restaurants that will participate in the sixth annual ‘A Taste of Buckhead Business EXPO’ taking place at the Grand Hyatt Buckhead from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 20. In all, this popular fundraiser benefiting the Buckhead Business Association (www.buckheadbusiness.org) will feature 18 of Buckhead’s finest restaurants plus exhibits by 36 companies based in the Buckhead area.
“We predict that our popular ‘Taste’ event will sell out this year,” notes Brenda Horne, CEO of Community Health Charities of Georgia (www.healthcharities.org/georgia), co-chair with Cindy Stewart, Director, Gateway EDI, (www.gatewayedi.com) who are also both on the BBA board. “A few exhibitor tables are still available, but we are pleased to see that companies such as Georgia Power, Buckhead Movers, Fifth Third Bank, Foxhall Resort & Sporting Club, Georgia Eye Associates and Rooter Plus have already signed up to take advantage of this opportunity to showcase their products and services to some 800+ guests on May 20.” Last year, the event was attended by more than 700 targeted business people who came to learn more about the great variety of companies that do business in Buckhead while tasting some delicious bites from Buckhead’s fabulous restaurants.
For the sixth year, Grand Hyatt Buckhead is the presenting sponsor of the event, while other major sponsors include 97.1 FM The River Classic Hits, Entertainment Design Group, The Wright Firm and Gallery Residences. Limited sponsorships, starting at $1,000, are still available.
