Yes, leashed pets are welcome.
i BELIEVE IT’S UNFAIR THAT YOU HAVE TO BUY TICKETS TO PURCHASE FOOD BY CREDIT CARD ONLY – MANY OF US DONT LIKE USING CARDS – WOULD LOVE TO ATTEND, BUT WILL NOT
From the Taste of Canton planning committee:
“The Taste of Canton understands your frustration. For the longest time CASH has been KING. However, at an event this size, the hassle and liability found in dealing with large amounts of cash is unsafe for volunteers. In addition, the restaurants are strapped for staff and they find it less cumbersome to simply accept tickets rather than take time to make change for customers. For these reasons, we are only accepting credit/debit cards at the event.”
