Taste of Macon: cancelled for now

If I was going to bet, I'd say folks will end up making this happen, but, as of yesterday afternoon, Taste of Macon was canceled.

So anyone looking to buy dinner for a state legislator, they now have an open slot on Feb. 26. Story on the main site.

That's probably it from me today. I'm in Johnson County, North Carolina.

UPDATE: Chamber of Commerce President Chip Cherry says they're looking at a lot of options, from canceling to holding a moderated Taste of Macon to holding it as usual. Chamber's board should make a decision by late next week, he said.

Dec. 23 UPDATE: Yep, canceled. They'll still do the lobbying day, and lunch will be a little nicer than in recent years, and some gifts might be given to legislative staffers as a thank you, but the evening party is canceled. Also - no cherry trees for legislators this year.
