A crowd of about 650 to 750 people took in live music, food and chit-chat with their neighbors Sunday at the annual Taste of Land Park.
For $25 in advance or $30 at the door, attendees sampled items from a slew of local and regional vendors who had set up booths. It was essentially an outdoor, all you-can-eat-and-drink buffet: There was everything from sushi from Miso Japanese Cuisine, to chili dogs from Willie's Burgers and Chiliburgers, to coffee from Espresso Metro Cafe. Also popular: the wine from independent vineyards and the beer that came courtesy of local brewers like Track 7, Rubicon brewery and Pyramid Alehouse .
"It's going beyond even our greatest expectations as far as the turnout today," Land Park Community Association President Mark Abrahams said Sunday. " The weather turned out perfect... People are just excited to be here and so are we."
The event also drew politicians – Steve Hansen and Joe Yee, the two remaining District 4 City Council candidates, were out working the crowd.

Now that we share a council district and our council member's attention, I'm hoping for more and more interaction between all of the district neighborhood associations in order to help promote greater mutual understanding on issues important to all of us.
