The twelfth annual Fauntleroy Food Fest is set for March 19 at the Hall at Fauntleroy at 9131 California Ave. SW starting at 6 PM. The event is free, and has a no-host bar but Fauntleroy Community Association dues are encouraged at the event.

food samples from local restaurants and information from neighborhood and government organizations are all part of the event. Last year, The Original Bakery, Endolyne Joe's, Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes Catering, Bird on a Wire Espresso, Guadalajara Mexican restaurant and Giannoni's Pizzeria were all present. Also on hand in previous years were YMCA, Little Pilgrim Daycare Center, The Fauntleroy Children's Center, Fauntleroy Community Service Agency, The Barton Pump Station Project, ArtsWest and others.

The full list of participants this year will be provided as the event date nears.

All Fauntleroy neighbors are invited to the event. One goal was to prompt neighbors to join the FCA or renew their current membership. Memberships start at $25 per household.
