ADRIAN — Launch Lenawee’s popular Taste of Lenawee event is back, giving people an opportunity to sample food and drink from a variety of local restaurants and caterers while also supporting small business development in Lenawee County.
The event will take place on Friday, Sept. 19, from 6-9 p.m. at the Adrian Armory Event Center, 230 W. Maumee St.

At the event, Launch Lenawee will also recognize oustanding service by locally owned businesses with its new “Under the Radar” awards. This honor, aimed at calling attention to the independent businesses that make up the backbone of the local economy, is for small businesses that have been providing exemplary products or services to the Lenawee County community for 10 years or more.
The five businesses chosen for the first Under the Radar awards are A-Drain Plumbing, El Chapulin restaurant, Sphere Contracting, Grey Fox Floral, and Hadden Tire.
The Adrian Armory supports the growth and development of Lenawee County through educational programs and small business development services.
