Inaugural 'Taste of Pa.' is in the books

This e-mail came in this morning from Brian Dudley, the spokesman for The Taste of Pennsylvania Wine and Music Festival that was held at the York Fairgrounds this past weekend:

"As a whole the event was fun and great. The Sons of the American Legion lost about $4,000 but everyone wants to do it again, so we plan to do it again next year. On Saturday it was basically a wash; we only got the last band on stage when the sun came out at 3 p.m. We did still get over 200 people to come out.

"Sunday was a much better day. The sun was shining and we had a breeze that at times was too much but kept it from getting too hot. On the whole, the wineries did well and most if not all of them have said they plan to come back next year. As people were leaving we of course we asking them how they enjoyed the event and everyone said they hope we do it again and they think it has great potential. So I am happy. Everything ran smooth on our end on Sunday and we look forward to another event next year."
