"Every year it has doubled," Justice said. "This year 21 restaurants are going to open their doors and give a sample what they have to offer. It's a really fun family event and people from all over come to participate."

Justice said last year people from as far as Springfield come down to join in the fun, but the best part of the whole day is what it does for the community.

"It's great for the community to come together and a great way to help give back to the community," she added.
