Fall may seem like it乌鸦传媒檚 far away, but in Rutland, community members are already marking their calendars for a very important date.

The fourth annual Grub Crawl will commence on Sept. 17. Rutland乌鸦传媒檚 restaurants will join in and offer samples for 250 lucky ticket holders.

Only 250 tickets are sold, said Laurel D乌鸦传媒橝ndrea, executive director of Uptown Rutland Business Association (URBA). This ensures restaurants乌鸦传媒攂ig and small乌鸦传媒攃an show their best work without feeling overwhelmed.

乌鸦传媒淎lready I have people calling me asking if tickets are available yet,乌鸦传媒� D乌鸦传媒橝ndrea said.

Last year, 11 restaurants participated in the popular event that sees community members mill about the streets trying foods from old and new favourites.

There are all kinds of things to try, D乌鸦传媒橝ndrea said. After all, one of the things Rutland is known for is its diverse food selection.

Tickets are only $20, and D乌鸦传媒橝ndrea said you can乌鸦传媒檛 get a cheaper meal than that.

乌鸦传媒淧eople will try to eat at all the participating restaurants,乌鸦传媒� she said. 乌鸦传媒淭hey will even bring their baggies. But, they乌鸦传媒檒l get to restaurant No. 9 and be so stuffed.乌鸦传媒�

URBA uses some of the funds to purchase gift certificates from local restaurants and those who purchase tickets are entered into a draw. And, if participants are active on social media and using the hashtag #RutlandGrubCraw on the day of the event, they can earn extra entries to score some free grub.

There is six weeks before the event kicks off, so it乌鸦传媒檚 best to start fasting now to make room for all the goodies.
