Our Wine & Howl Fund Raising Event is Dog Friendly and Family Oriented. Grab a blanket, bring your family, friends, and dog(s), and come join us for a nice, relaxing day out in the fresh country air, taste some excellent wine, enjoy some great food, and listen to nice music. Dogs must be on a leash at all times.

While some vendors may accept credit cards at our Second Annual Wine & Howl Fund Raising Event, other vendors only accept cash or check.
