Art works and photos and wine — oh MY!

February 28, 2008

How about a winter art and food and wine festival?

It’s in Corning at Rolling Hills Casino starting on Friday, Feb. 29, at 4 p.m. until 9; then continuing on Saturday, March 1, from noon-9.

You’ll find the Tehama County Photo Club with lots of wonderful, interesting photos for sale, including both framed and matted prints. Meet members of the club and talk to them about photography.

See the Red Bluff Art Association’s new exhibit panels, thanks to a grant from the Shasta Regional Community Foundation, and enjoy the lovely artwork hung on them, created by their talented members. 

 Sip wine from a baker’s dozen of area wineries. Sample olives, olive oils, savory fresh bread, and a buffet of goodies from the casino’s talented kitchen.

 Foodies will love the demonstrations; musicians will hark to the music throughout the event. Everyone can rock on to the band Cottonwood on Saturday night, beginning at 7 p.m.

 Tickets are $8 at the door; $5 in advance from the casino, Premier West Community banks in Corning, Chico, and Red Bluff, and Butte Community Bank, plus the Corning Chamber of Commerce. Food and wine tickets are $1 each — so if you want just food, no wine thanks, you’re not paying for it with the price of admission! Or come see the art alone and know that your donation goes to a good cause — the Corning Rotary Club uses all the proceeds to help local kids’ programs. (and they give a dictionary to every third grader in the area…)

 Hope to see you there.
