ODC Schedules Second Food Truck Event By Ann Mead Ash
A recipe, when made correctly, will have just the right quantities of ingredients in the right combination. Likewise, Ken Mueller, public relations and development manager for Occupational Development Center (ODC) and organizer of the organization’s second Food Truck Fest, has a recipe for the event. “We want the right mix,” explained Mueller. “We want a good variety. We will have a little bit of everything for everybody.” This year’s Food Truck Fest will feature 16 trucks - twice as many as the 2018 event, according to Mueller - when it is held at Stauffer Park, 1241 Lititz Pike, Lancaster, on Saturday, June 8, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
There is no admission charge to attend. Food items from trucks will be available for purchase. For this year’s fest, Mueller has lined up trucks selling items such as Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food, cheesesteaks, burgers, a variety of fried chicken items, fresh-cut french fries and other potato treats, and scooped ice cream treats. Mueller shared that the Reunion food truck, a nonprofit entity started by Community Action Program, will sell soul food at the event. “Last year, they brought pork belly tacos that sold out quickly because they were amazing,” he said. Mueller added that Upohar will be new to the venue this year. “They will be selling global cuisine and vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free food,” he said. See Food Truck Fest pg 9
