The Bimart Taste of Home Cooking School is Tuesday night and after taking off a year, thanks to the economy,  many businesses are excited to get involved again.

Casey Kaiser with Combined Communications says they are finding that businesses are feeling stronger about getting involved in events like this.

"There is actually a lot of excitement with the businesses that are involved with it this year. Quite a few of them have shares with us that they were disappointed that the event was off line here in Central Oregon for a year. As you know, it's a national event that travels around the country, so Central Oregonians are always really excited to have it here."

Kaiser says its a very encouraging sign that so many businesses are eager to join the event.

The Taste of Home is Tuesday at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds; doors open at 3 p.m. and the show starts at 6 p.m.  You can still buy tickets at the door.
