Can you smell the lavender? The Willamette Valley Lavender Festival was celebrated this weekend all across the Willamette Valley with fields upon fields of blooming lavender. One of the main events was held at the Chehalem Valley Cultural Center so we made sure to stop by on Saturday morning to check it out.
2015 Memorial Day Recap ~ Varnum Vintners, A.F. Nichols, Swick Wines, and Medici Vineyards
Our neighbor always has the inside track when it comes to fun wine tasting events. She’s a tasting room manager and knows just about everyone in the industry! So when we were coming up with our itinerary Memorial Day Weekend she mentioned an event we just had to attend…a special tasting at the Historic Medici Vineyard Estate.
First Friday ARTwalk ~ Christmas is Here!
It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just TEN short days away!? Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?
I am so thankful I was able to make it to the First Friday ARTwalk in Newberg on December 5th, it was just what I needed to get into the holiday spirit. With caroling, Santa Claus, tons of little kids, and a grand Christmas tree, the ARTwalk was the perfect way to kick-off the weekend!
I learned that this year’s tree lighting marked 30 years of celebrating Santa in Newberg! It was great to see so many families out and about enjoying the ARTwalk and the Chehalem Cultural Center.
Brews and BBQ
Last Friday after work we headed to the Brews and BBQ in downtown Newberg. We decided it would be the perfect way to end the week…beer, BBQ, and good music!
