The Arcadia Chamber of Commerce‘s annual Taste of Arcadia on Monday (Sept. 24, 2012) was another big success this year, with many of the nearly 1,000 attendees and participants calling the event featuring food and drinks from 40 of the best local restaurants at the Los Angeles County Arboretum on Sept. 24 the best ever.
Among the firsts for the event was a live TV promotion on KTLA Channel 5 (click previous link for complete videos) with a half-dozen reports from the venue during the three-hour morning show from 5 a.m. – 8 a.m.
