This has been a fast and crazy summer! Our youngest goes off to college in two weeks (OMG!!) and the winery is coming up on its 3 year anniversary at 401 W. Main St in Norwalk. Seems like yesterday when we were meeting at the winery in the evenings to get work done.  The winery started as a commercial winery January 2008 so actually we're coming up on our "5th Year Winery Celebration"  So much fun! We'll plan something special after the New Year. Keep us in mind throughout these upcoming months when you want to do Bridal or Baby Showers or Rehearsal Dinners or even have a small Wedding at our Winery! We're up for just about anything! Take care and we'll write again soon!
Last weekend we had a great time with the 5k Fundraiser for The Piggyback Foundation! We want to thank all those who came out to support this cause and volunteered their time to help too! We put a pic or two up on facebook if you want to check them out as the runners were starting "uphill" in 100 degree temps. What troopers! we had plenty of water and thankfully no heat issues other than just being uncomfortable! The air conditioning kept up though! Thanks so much to Glen and Maureen Bayless who donated their time being our DJ for the evening!  Thanks to all the local businesses who donated gift certificates and cards and other donations! We raised some funds for a great charity in Huron County. We thank them for being here! Stop out this weekend and check out Carlyle from 8-11p on Saturday!

We are deep in the planning of our son's graduation party (june 30), also planning our July 7th fund raiser for the Piggyback Foundation. Donations are tough this year....you know! If you are a business that provides a service or would like to raffle something off give me a ring. Normally, we get the 5k off then do some awards and then raffles throughout the evening. Economy...... I keep trying though!! Carlyle Smith is back at the winery this weekend! Stop out to hear some great tunes 8-11pm.
Thanks to Mick and Ed for entertaining us last Saturday night!  Sorry I missed you guys. Our son graduated from H.S. and we were doing a little celebrating too!!  Shannon took great care of you I hear!
