More than 60 restaurants and businesses participated in the 9th Annual Taste of South Lake and Business Expo held last Thursday, November 7, at Clermont’s Waterfront Park. The event offered samplings of a wide variety of scrumptious appetizers, entrees, beverages, and desserts from local restaurants, as well as best decorated booth and a chance to meet and mingle with many of south Lake’s business leaders.

South Lake’s favorite country singer Rob Nichols was the featured entertainer.
