Tickets cost $75 and can be purchased here. 

Money benefits the Baltimore County Public Library Foundation, which aims to "provide funding for projects that encourage children and young adults to cultivate a life-long enthusiasm for reading and learning," according to the Foundation For BCPL website. 

UPDATE (1:20 p.m.)—Sixty percent ($45) of the $75 ticket is tax deductible, according to Foundation president Jeff Smith. 

Noble cause aside, the money also buys participants a night of music, raffles and food samples from 19 Baltimore restaurants. 

Breaking(-ish) News: Organizers tell Patch that Bonefish Grill has signed on as a Taste of the Town vendor, which has not yet been officially announced on the Taste of the Town homepage. You're welcome, newsletter subscribers.
