Food truck fest in Shelton benefits Parent Child Resource Center

My husband, daughter, and I enjoyed our food truck dinner experience Thursday at the Shelton Riverwalk. 
And judging by the crowd and long lines of people waiting to place their orders, we weren't alone. 

I'd venture to say the first-ever Food Trucks in the Valley event was a success! 

And 10 percent of the proceeds will go to the Lower Naugatuck Valley Parent Child Resource Center in Derby.

The band Monster Eats Pilot was one of four bands to rock the crowd.

Beef, cheese, and sauteed peppers being prepped for cheesesteak sandwiches.

This boy seemed more interested in playing with light toys than trying out some of the delicious food truck offerings.


Kudos to the Parent Child Resource Center staff and in particular Veronica Parsloe, director of development and marketing, for putting on a wonderful event.

We're looking forward to returning next year!
