It ... let's just here is a great i i love a good talk going over the cause of lily sanchez is joyous is learning and lily is the com medications coordinator and she's here to talk about the tech keys a taco tour is a mouthful offer small lily good morning and thank you for joining us in mining for having me.

Tell me exactly what this is all of about what job makes up the tootsies a taco tour short sale and last year we had an idea at the pies to and create a new fundraiser that when and really rally behind and emphasize and bring to light th and latino small businesses here in chattanooga and so last year and october.

We had an taco festival, miller park and has a great turnout and and we really and saw the benefit in and highlighting these local latino restaurant on that course this year we have had to pay that and the way we are writing this event, we decided to create and start an independent virtual event where we're trying to get chattanooga to you and spend a week at july 27 and ordering notes, picking up, or dining and if they felt comfortable and to these local latino restaurant helping us and sorry to support them during the time which and there and you know, kind of struggling so and really it it's just a way check to highlight dan and to you and to get people to support them.

As i remember last year turned out was that they were the co-organizers of this is a follow-up discussion we had.

So the event was wildly successful ... i agree.

I think that it was fo being my first year, and for it being a day and max and the weather wasn't too awkward if we had an amazing turnout, but i hope you have a another amazing turnout this year so tell the what is involved.

I'm assuming that it would be ideal to purchase a ticket once you have that knocked out of the way, how do you taste all the tacos this year and last year.

Last year you had an idea things in order and purchase from the different vendors on this year were providing a free print and taco tour guide and you can pick up any of the participating restaurant and and each vendor has their own debt and coupons for the month of august and you can also use next week and during the event on and basically you can go around tow throughout the holy and try and talk and how best cheese and the best talk in chattanooga and said annually will be announcin it on my tacos do you think or go through during this particular any rough idea how many went through last year and is a great question.

I have mor vendors.

She participated last year and were hoping that we triple the amount from last yea and only with only an narrow down the categories and and tal inventing when golden talk and sent a very coveted position this year.

I'm so hoping that all of the restaurant and publicizing often and really added their community to come and help when the golden talk.

What is the important of this particular of the keys up taco tour.

I was at.

So why is it so what we're doing cause some highs and we really and we were kind advocating and supporting our local latinos, whether they be and in any sort of sector i and the community and particularly is for our entrepreneurs and small busines owners and in the scene the way in which the pandemic has economically impacted and we just wanted to get dan as smile opportunity to perhaps an bring in some more business really islamic should they survive this and this is just a way that we can can help.

I hope you go through tens of thousands of tacos if not, or the sounds like a great event and tell us the dates on it again, and how to get in on the fun.

Sure, so it will be next week starting the week and july 20 through the end of the week.

On saturday august first will announce the winners and you can learn more at 16 to chat.com nystatin you do, or an of the parties initial and pick up your printed copy any of the participating restaurant.

Well, sounds like a lot of fun.

Obviously some of the best taco you will find anywhere and you said the winner gets the golden taco award and correct it is a golden taco trophy they get to display in their restaurant lil we are running out of time.
