DOWNTOWN LUFKIN HOSTING ANNUAL TASTING EVENT
 
 
Downtown Lufkin will once again transform into a food and wine lover's
paradise during the annual Corks and Forks tasting event, from 7 to 10 p.m.
Saturday, February 4, at The Regal, a new downtown venue at 119 N. First St.
 
Corks and Forks offers Lufkin’s finest chefs the opportunity to showcase
their tastiest appetizers and desserts paired with great wines and
champagnes. Bryan Harkness and his band will be performing live music
throughout the evening.
 
"Corks and Forks is always a fun evening," said Tara Watson-Watkins,
executive director of the Lufkin Convention and Visitors Bureau. "You take
great food expertly paired with great drinks, add some fantastic live music
and great friends and you have a recipe for an unforgettable night. This
year we're also excited to showcase one of Lufkin's new event venues."
 
The Regal Event Venue is one of the original buildings in downtown Lufkin's
Cotton Square. It was originally home to the first shopping outlet in town,
the original Bealls Clothing Store, and has also housed a
furniture/appliances store and a dance studio. The building was renovated in
2015.
