* Canopy Rose Catering was a premiere Tallahassee catering operation for over a decade. The business closed a few years ago so that owner, Kathi Dameron could engage in some other creative pursuits. During this time, Kathi began writing the popular "Entertaining with Kathi" column in the Northeast Chronicle, a community publication of the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper. In January of 2008, Canopy Rose reopened as a regional culinary arts studio and catering company in a historic bank building in downtown Havana, Florida. In addition to offering catering for a wide range of special events, Canopy Rose offers cooking classes, dinners-to-go, food jaunts, cookbook collaborations, food styling, food writing, team building events and consulting.
