This year's "Taste of Okotoks" won't be the same as in years previous.

For the eight years celebrations, the Town of Okotoks has announced businesses and restaurants will be offering "Taste Of Okotoks Specials" that customers will be able to order from the restaurants themselves.

Community Programs and Event Manager with the Town of Okotoks Janette Messer says this will be a great opportunity for the town to support local businesses.

Customers are encouraged to hold onto their receipts for these items because they will have a chance to win some prizes from the Okotoks Art Gallery.

Businesses will be offering these specials until August 10th.
