The Seventh Annual Scrumptious Summerville Kitchen Tour, to benefit Children In Crisis, Inc., was held Sunday, October 11, 2009.
Each year the Kitchen Tour is a unique delight for the senses as patrons tour grand homes in Summerville and sample gourmet treats prepared by premiere Lowcountry chefs. Local musicians are scheduled to perform in each home or garden and area florists grace the interior décor with floral arrangements. The homes are toured from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
