Support
The monthly food fest in St. Mark's has increased exponentially since its induction in April of 2007. Patrons from other parishes and even tourists have come to experience this unique and exciting event. Increased advertising has brought more people to the food fest each month, and each month the turnout gets better and better. Currently the St. Mark's Development Committee (SMDC) is developing a plan to expand and improve the Sunset City Food Fest. This will be done through community collaboration and consultation, institutional development, expanding physical assets and amenities, fund raising, marketing and promotion, and capacity building and training. The event is undergoing expansive investment to increase the livelihood of the community through capacity building. Each vendor will undergo extensive training in food preparation, serving and customer etiquette to increase the levels of satisfaction of patrons.
