Literatini is a FUNdraising event to support Literacy Mid-South, and it was bigger and better than ever before as the party expanded into the parking lot for 2023! Scrumptious bites from Libro at Laurelwood, Chef Tanocha with Big Momma and Granny’s Catering, Crumpy’s Wings & More, and Chef David Johnson with Southern Belle Catering complemented the martini competition. The Alchemist martini from The Pear Martini was selected at the People’s Choice Award, and Libro’s martini was chosen for the Judge’s Choice Award. Live music by Gerald Richardson and DJ mixes by DJ Mary “The K” rounded out the party atmosphere. It was a fun-filled evening for the mission of 100% literacy in Memphis and the Mid-South! literacymidsouth.org
