We wanted to share this event at Carsonville this weekend in honor of Taryn Morgan. If you have never been to Carsonville it is a lot like Jack's, a rural restaurant/bar supported by local regulars and out of towners looking for a unique experience with delicious food.
Our paths have intertwined with Taryn's in so many ways over the years and it still feels unreal that they won't ever again. Taryn went to high school with Nick at UDA, she and Melissa taught Science together at a cyber school for a number of years, our kids wrestled together at UDA and finally we were constantly sharing small business restaurant issues/frustrations/ideas that helped us weather COVID and all the challenges that have faced the industry since then. You could not find a harder working, more focused and passionate mom/teacher/farmer/business owner/dessert maker/problem solver than Taryn. You also could not find a more loving and dedicated sister/daughter/aunt, and we have been thinking about her and the family and the UDA community every day since. So many prayers and so much love to her family, students and friends. 💕
Saturday June 27th is all about Taryn.
Join us at the Carsonville Hotel after her celebration of life.
We will have live music all afternoon.

All of the proceeds we make from the tacos, quesadillas and chips and salsa will go directly to the kids trust. Sysco has generously donated all of the items to make it happen.
