Flavors of Bedford was clearly the place to be on Sunday, November 5, with guests arriving in droves within moments after the doors opened. Flavors is an annual event sponsored by the Bedford Chamber of Commerce; a portion of the proceeds support the Friends of Hanscom, a non-profit organization established to promote and support the mission of the American military service.

Dozens of appetizers and tasting bites were on the menu, with some guests marking their lists to be certain that they tried everything.
