The 7th Annual Taste of Collin County was held on Monday, February 23rd, 2009 in historic downtown McKinney . The weather was beautiful and the evening provided an excellent venue for celebration of Mardi Gras Madness.
North Collin County Habitat for Humanity cannot say Thank You enough. YOU, our sponsors, restaurants, donors, celebrity judges, entertainers, volunteers and vendors made this event possible. We had over 2,000 in attendance and everyone had a fabulous time. The food was great and the entertainment was superb.
Thank you for making the dream of homeownership a reality for one more North Collin County family.
