10th Annual WINE & FOOD FESTIVAL
Benefiting the Waco Humane Society
October 17-2009
Nearly 30 wineries will serve samples of more than 100 wines--wine professionals will share information on wine tasting, winemaking, and paring wines with foods.
Over 20 local restaurants and caterers will provide complimentary food samples to enjoy with your wine. Cooking demonstrations, a silent auction and live music will round out the afternoon's entertainment.
Reserved tables for ten, designated with your company or firm name, can be purchased. Your guests will receive a souvenir wine tasting glass to remember the day. Individual tickets may be purchased.
The proceeds from the festival will benefit the Waco Humane Society--a non profit, private organization. Two-thirds of the Humane Society's budget comes from private donations and fees for services. The Waco Humane Society is a traditional, open door facility that accepts all animals that are brought through its doors.
Please call Karen Froehlich at (254) 754-1454 to reserve your table.
