Leslie Leistra, left, and Tacarra Marchman were among the estimated 30 people who flocked to the inaugural “Taste a State” fundraiser, held Saturday afternoon in Victoria at the People’s Community Center. We commend and thank the organizers for their hard work in preparing the diversity of foods, bringing smiles to so many faces and uniting the community.
