WineFest VCOALPORT — Hundreds of spirited guests attended the 5th Winter WineFest hosted by Glendale Education Foundation on Saturday, Feb. 3, at the Glendale Vol. Fire Co. social hall.
Residents, businesses and organizations from throughout the Glendale region and participating vendors donated over 80 baskets and gifts for the raffle, several large 50/50 drawings were held, and a number of large ticket items were awarded as well. All proceeds benefit Glendale Education Foundation, which supports numerous educational opportunities including scholarships for local students. “Guests and vendors had a great time at our mid-winter fundraising event” said event Chairwoman Kelsey McManus. “Our mission of supporting the students of the Glendale School District by improving and enhancing educational opportunities is made possible by the generosity of community members and friends who make events like these so successful.” Executive Director William Morrison was very pleased with the quality of vendors and wineries. “The vendors arrived with their excellent wines and specialty products and had smiles on their faces. They were ready to greet our guests who were anxious to sample and support our cause,” Morrison said. “Each year, everyone looks forward to familiar faces as well as new businesses.” Participating wineries at this year’s WineFest included Bee Kind Winery, Starr Hill Vineyard and Winery, Uncle D’s Sassy Glass Winery, The Winery at Wilcox and Woody Lodge Winery. Specialty vendors included Delong Enterprises, Dutch Hill Chocolates, Sissy’s Sassy Gourmet Apples, Tastefully Simple and Ruga Rue Jerky and Banquet Hall. “We couldn’t do this without our vendors and they are extremely supportive of our mission.” Foundation board members have been planning for the WineFest since late summer and will soon begin planning for the 2025 Valentine’s-themed event. “We are appreciative for all our generous donors, community members and guests who drove from near and far who made our event a huge success!,” McManus said. “Watch for exciting announcements about the 2024 WineFest. We want to make it our best event yet!” The Foundation announced that this year's event raised nearly $7,500 at the February board meeting, theld on Monday, Feb. 26, at Josie’s Restaurant in Coalport. Special thanks to Josie's Restaurant, Leyo's Supermarket and Uncle D's Winery for providing ticket sales locations. Watch for updates here and
