The 20th annual Taste of Claremont is officially a wrap for 2019! With over 800 people in attendance on Saturday, and plenty of food and drink to go around, it’s no wonder crowds started to gather 30 minutes before opening. The event featured more than 40 local restaurants, wineries and breweries providing samples of their wares. Guests also enjoyed live music, an art exhibition, raffle prizes and a strolling magician. Last year’s event raised more than $55,000 for the Rotary Club of Claremont’s local and international charitable organizations. COURIER photo/Peter Weinberger
