After eight months of planning, East Lansing residents, MSU students and local vendors gathered on Albert Street to get a taste of East Lansing. With live music, variety of food and great weather, people packed into the block for the second annual Taste of East Lansing to try food from local businesses and raise money for the East Lansing Rotary Club and the Community Relations Coalition, or CRC. The proceeds from the event were unable to be determined directly after the event but Carter said she thinks they have doubled what was raised last year. Taste of East Lansing Administration Coordinator Aleece Carter said last year they sold about 3,000 tickets and raised around $1,500, however this year she hoped to raise more, with a personal goal of $4,000.
