YUMMY: The Food Truck Friday fundraising event is a success

IVY JACOBS PHOTO - Friday at the Clay County Courthouse was all about good weather and food truck cuisine.

Even before the fundraising event started at ll a.m Friday, people were enjoying the good weather and waiting to experience the food truck cuisine.

"We had a bigger crowd than anticipated," said Stephanie Dickison, who helped her coworkers at the Clay County Prosecutor's Office organized the event. "I thought it was 300-400 people, but they said I was a little low."

There was a bake sale by the prosecutor's office staff, and all the funds collected went to the Clay County Youth Food Delivery Program.

A few food trucks experienced unforeseen issues, but those in attendance were kept busy.

Trucks at the event included:

Freddy's Catering

Anthony's Wood-Fire Pizza

Kona Ice

Mad House Kettle Korn and Pork Rinds

Dickison said the total collected at the bake sale and the donations made by the vendors was $510, adding, "We had really good feedback."

The excitement will continue because the calendar is cleared for another event on Friday, August 26.

Dickison said, "We're going to try to do more."
