At the end of the event, the vendor receiving the most votes will be named the Taste of Noble County People’s Choice winner. Noble County Events, Inc. will donate 25% of gross tasting-ticket package sales to the nonprofit organization selected by the winning vendor. VIP Early Access Pass sales, vendor sales, sponsorships, fees, and other event revenue are not included in the People’s Choice donation calculation. Taste local. Vote for your favorite.
