The Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation is sponsoring a Food Fest on Oct. 16  from 6:30-10pm at Harvey’s Convention Center, Stateline.

The fundraiser pays for enrichment programs in all schools in Lake Tahoe Unified School District.

This community activity will feature food by local restaurants, beer and wine tasting, a silent auction, and music. Since school funding has been dramatically cut for the coming school year, the enrichment programs provided by LTEF offer many students opportunities to participate in art, music, science, math, marine biology, health education activities that would not otherwise be available.

Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door, and are available at all elementary schools, the LTUSD office and Fox Gas.
