Third Annual Feast on The FAX

Take 12 or more East Colfax-area restaurants; mix in nearly 500-600 hungry revelers, add a delightful June evening and you have.... the Third Annual Feast on The FAX.

On June 10, 2008 The FAX Partnership will hold its Third Annual Feast on The FAX, giving attendees the chance to sample cuisines ranging from Moroccan, Mexican, Ethiopian, and American. Participants will enjoy samples at all of the featured restaurants, and may walk, bike, or ride shuttle buses up and down The FAX.

The Feast on The FAX was created by The FAX Partnership to promote businesses on Colfax while providing residents of the surrounding neighborhoods and beyond an opportunity to become acquainted (or re-acquainted) with the diverse restaurant base along East Colfax we call The FAX.

The event is presented in cooperation with Greater Park Hill, Bellevue-Hale, Mayfair Neighbors, Historic Montclair, and East Montclair neighborhood associations. The Boards of these five neighborhood associations will be selling tickets to The Feast on The FAX and sharing in the proceeds from those ticket sales. So you are not only helping The FAX Partnership with its annual fund raising event but also helping to advance the mission of these five great neighborhood associations.

Restaurants that have signed up so far this year include; Solera, Senor Rita's Cantina, The Cork House, Mataam Fez, Aguacalientes, Senor Pepe's, Habesha, Axum , The Elm, Spin'n Chicken, Africana, and Bruno's Saloon.. We hope to add a few more restaurants before the event.

We also hope to have the some of the same sponsors from last year which were Stapleton Foundation and National Jewish Medical and ResearchCenter, but we hope to have some of The FAX businesses help out as well

A portion of the proceeds from the event will also benefit a worthy non-profit group associated with The FAX in some way.

Planning for the event is already under way and we are looking forward to adding even more new restaurants this year and making it an even more enjoyable evening, if that's possible.
