The all-new Mazda6 is the product of engineer and designer working in unison, from start to finish, daring to reimagine the automobile as a whole.

It's all happening at the Mold-Mas- ters SportsPlex in Georgetown, spon- sored by the Halton Hills Chamber of Commerce and The Independent & Free Press. Food trucks will be in the parking lot, along with displays from local car dealers, big trucks from the Town, and classic cars. "It's food on the move-- real gourmet food," said Matt Donohoe of The Co- operators in Georgetown. The company has about 50 food truck operators as cli- ents, offering them a package of vehicle and business insurance. "A real culture has grown around it in Hamilton and especially Toronto," he said. Operators use social media such as Twitter and Facebook to let custom- ers know exactly when and where they will be selling their food. There are mobile apps that track food truck schedules, map their loca- tions and allow users to tap into opera- tors' Twitter feeds. The Eat St. TV show that follows the trend across North America is into its fourth season on the Food Network.
