More than 800 people were expected to dine and dance along the shore of Lake Lanier on Saturday evening at the 15th annual A Taste of Gainesville. The event is the largest fundraiser for the Lake Lanier Rowing Club, with proceeds going to help purchase club equipment and maintain the Lake Lanier Olympic venue for the many people who use it each year. This year, 35 local Gainesville and Northeast Georgia restaurants participated in A Taste of Gainesville, hoping to give something back to the community that supports their businesses year-round.
