Main Street Murfreesboro thanks all who participated in the Taste of Rutherford fundraiser.

Taste of Rutherford is Main Street Murfreesboro's annual fundraiser, held on July 13 on the grounds of Oakland's Mansion.  This sold-out event boasted 20 restaurants from Murfreesboro and Smyrna treating over 300 attendees with tastings and sweet treats.  This fundraiser helps Main Street Murfreesboro meet budget goals for the year and provides support to several downtown projects including Downtown Property Enhancement grants, community concerts, and marketing support for small business owners in the historic downtown business district.  

Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make T.O.R. a success!
