Summer Solstice Organic Food & Wine Festival

1st Annual
Summer Solstice Organic Food & Wine Festival

The event went off without a hitch and, after a brief cloudburst, even the cool June weather cooperated. Great bands, food, information, wine and people made this first ever Organic Food & Wine Festival a hit. Thank you to all who participated and please share your thoughts so we can begin thinking about next year.

This was the first year of this event. After months of discussion it was pulled together quickly and we had to limit vendors who participated. It was a big success and despite the weather everyone had a great time. We are thinking about next year already and I encourage any organic food growers or producers to email us to let us know they are interested in next years event.

Thank you to all the companies who participated. I hope the event was as worthwhile for you as for all who attended.

Cheers,

Dewey Weddington
Asst. GM Cooper Mountain Vineyards
