The 8th Annual Hops and Grapes Celebration is TONIGHT; 6-9 PM at the Waterloo Center for the Arts.  We are raising money for our own Worthy Causes, along with a contribution to the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Cedar Valley.  Our Vendors include selections from here in Iowa!  Summerset (Indianola), Engelbrecht (Fredericksburg) and Trainwreck (Algona) wineries will be there.  Millstream is back once again, also selling another awesome Brewery Tour in our Live Auction, and United Beverage is coming to sample Peace Tree (Knoxville) along with some regional selections.
Hy-Vee on Ansborough has our food, and Scratch Cupcakes donated our Cupcakes!
 
From a beach tote with supplies for a Fun Day in the Sun, to a Delectable Assortment of Portuguese Wines and Treats submitted by the McCrindles, there seems to be something for everybody in our silent auction!  And as if that wasn’t enough, the live auction will feature some old favorites like the Brewery Tour, and 2 half hogs donated by Todd Rohlfsen; along with new items such as Jim Seeley’s Handcrafted Chess Board and Moment in Thyme (Len Swiatly) dinner for 8!!!
 
I am so excited I can hardly wait!!  We hope to see you there!
