Happy Halloween Everyone! We know your thoughts are on the big hunt for chocolate and candy tonight with your friends and family...but ours are on our event this weekend. We need more folks to help us with the Beer, Wine and Spirits area. Even if you have never volunteered for the Washington Wine Academy before...now is a great time to start. Hope to see you this weekend...Jim
