The event grapevine: July 4-6

FEATURED EVENT



Reds Whites & BLUES Festival
Saturday, 2 to 10 p.m.
Moon Dancer Vineyard & Winery, Wrightsville, Pa.
http://www.moondancerwinery.com/id35.html
Tickets, $20

If memory serves from my recent conversation with winemaker and owner Jim Miller, this is the fourth annual early summer salute to the blues, part of a full weekend of events at the winery with one of the more spectacular views of any in the region.

There will be almost a continuous cercert, beginning with Blue Voodoo 2 and wrapping up with The Chaz DePaolo Blues Band starting at 8 p.m. Food and wine will be available throughout, that menu including pig roast/pork sandwiches, beans and pasta salad available for purchase. Visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets.

Activities at the winery will begin tonight from 6 to 9, rain or shine, with A.D. Chandler providing the music and a 4 on the 4th wine promotion that provides you the fourth bottle for free after you purchase three bottles.



The Reese Project will wrap the weekend up with a concert from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Moon Dancer’s summer concert series continues on most Saturday through the rest of the summer.
