A night of food and wine tasting in participating businesses. The first year 2007 we sold 300 tickets and 17 businesses participated, 2008 we sold 500 tickets and 26 businesses participated. We hope to sell more this year of 2009. People register at Off the Vine and head off to the various businesses. You are sure to have a great time and revisit downtown!! We do need volunteers to man the registration desk at Off the Vine from 4p-7p (about 8 volunteers). A hit this year was a free t-shirt if you visited all 26 businesses! 450 people out of 500 did this!!!!
