Join Us for the Foodies Care Legacy of Leaders Celebration!

We invite you to be part of something special on Saturday, March 8th, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, as we celebrate the remarkable impact of local leaders who are shaping our community. This year, we honor Bill Hopper, Bill Kennedy, Adam Vocks, Billy Williams, and the Barry Family (including Bill, Bruce, Dan, John, and Larry Barry)—individuals and families whose generosity and commitment are making a lasting difference in Taylorville, IL.

As part of this inspiring celebration, we’ll gather for a fundraiser that’s as delicious as it is meaningful. Guests will enjoy exclusive pairings at three beloved Taylorville dining spots:

Anderson Jewelers: Sign-in will be between 3:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Legacy of Leaders recognition 3:15 with Bruce Kettlekamp
Nesty’s: Enjoy four craft beers paired with custom sliders.
Florinda’s: Delight in Italian wines, each thoughtfully paired with authentic Italian dishes.
Fur Love: Sample appetizers from Small Town Taylorville participants.

In total, you’ll experience up to 16 unique pairings throughout the evening, all while honoring our extraordinary community leaders.

Enjoy live music, entertainment, food and beer pairings, raffles, and more. Each participant will receive a gift bag valued at over $100, along with a commemorative Event Wine Glass and Beer Tasting Glass.
