Murfreesboro, TN - The 4th Annual Taste of Stones River, held at The Avenue Murfreesboro this past Saturday, raised over $56,000 for the Primary Care & Hope Clinic. The tremendous success of the event proves this to be a strong family event that continues to be supported by the community. This year, forty-six restaurants participated by serving specialty items that are unique to their establishment. Patrons enjoyed live music featuring local artists, a children’s area, and lots of delectable food.
 
Each year, voting is conducted to determine which foods the public liked the most. This year’s winners include Bonefish Grill, Best Appetizer; The Chop House, Best Entrée; Gigi’s Cupcakes, Best Dessert; Jason’s Deli, People’s Choice. The restaurants decorate their booths and jockey for votes during tasting hours in hopes of winning a category.
