Taste of the Seasons Starts the Holiday Season ~
Taste of the Seasons, an annual fundraising event at Four Seasons Greenhouse and Nursery, was a big hit again this year. Approximately 300 people attended the wine and food tasting event on the beautifully decorated grounds of the Four Seasons Greenhouse and Nursery. This year, $13,000 was raised for United Way! Special thanks to Gail and Vic Vanik, owners of Four Seasons, their staff and volunteers, all the food and wine vendors, all the local businesses that donated to the auction, and all who attended.
Look for this event again in 2008 on December 4!
