A ‘walking taco,’ eh?
The name conjures up an interesting mental picture – a cartoony taco, overflowing with lettuce and cheese, a smiling face on its crunchy shell and tiny legs protruding from the shell. Cute enough to…eat!
Well, they won’t be cute, but they will be tasty, according to those planning a walking taco sale next Friday from 12-8 p.m.
Leadership Whitley County is once again partnering with another organization on a fundraising event – this time with a portion of the proceeds supporting the Whitley County Historical Society as they sell walking tacos outside the museum next Friday.
“We will be offering lunch delivery in the downtown area starting at noon,” said LWC alumni Mindy Muchow. Muchow came up with the idea for the fundraiser several weeks ago.
The walking taco features corn chips covered in taco meat, lettuce and cheese in a convenient bag for easy eating.
During the American Legion Old Settler's Day Parade, a group of LWC alumni will be motoring the walking tacos around the parade route and will also have water available for sale as well. Meals can be delivered to you as you wait in the parade line. Walking tacos are $2 each and bottled water is $1.
Walking tacos will be sold at the Whitley County Historical Museum, 108 West Jefferson Street, or can be delivered to you by calling 609-0649.
The fundraiser is sponsored by J&J Insurance, SWAT Team Pest Control, More Farm Store and Kinetico.
Proceeds will support Leadership Whitley County and the Whitley County Historical Society.
