On a weather-perfect Wednesday evening, May 11th, more than 1,000 hungry people hit Brand Blvd. and the Glendale Exchange to participate in Glendale Healthy Kids’ 4th annual “A Taste of Downtown Glendale.” High school jazz bands from Hoover, Crescenta Valley, and Glendale positioned themselves along Brand to entertain the diners, and for the fourth year, the Glen Roberts Big Band spent the evening playing swing music under the Alex marquee. Sporting green wristbands for identification, the hundreds of supporters strolled in and out of the participating restaurants to sample their cuisine, bumping in to other community friends along the way. It was a great event, raising $25,000 for Glendale Healthy Kids.
