In just three weeks, the annual Taste of the Trust will take place in downtown Brookhaven.

On Nov. 12, from 5:30 to 9 p.m., area residents will have the opportunity to try foods from 17 different vendors, bid on a variety of items in the silent auction and enjoy the musical notes of Tyler Bridge.

The restaurants will compete for the People’s Choice Award, which was awarded to La Mariposa in 2014.

The Brookhaven Trust was founded in 1991 by a group of individuals looking to preserve Mississippi’s heritage and promote cultural events in Brookhaven. Those first members rallied around Mary Jane Lampton Auditorium, which is located on what is now the Mississippi School of the Arts campus. Since raising funds to repair the roof, the Trust has benefitted buildings throughout Brookhaven’s downtown.

The Trust also supports art students with scholarships through Mississippi Scholars. In 2015, the Trust was able to award two. The Trust also has provided financial support for the Brookhaven Regional Arts Guild, which is a subsection of the Trust. BRAG has created a community in which artists in the area can come together to improve their talents.

Tickets to Taste of the Trust are $25 and can be purchased by contacting Jason Snider at 601-695-8123, any Trust member or by visiting J Allan’s. Tickets will also be available for $30 at the door.
