The Tampa winner of the recent Kid Connoisseur taste-testing contest is 5-year-old Gabriella Hutto, and Winn-Dixie hosted the event in her honor at the Hyde Park store.

Gabriella received red carpet fanfare inside the store this afternoon with associates cheering her on, a grocery shopping spree and an official presentation by local Winn-Dixie leadership recognizing her as the Tampa SE Grocers Kid Connoisseur.
