4th Annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser
Thank you to all who supported, volunteered, assisted and attended our 4th annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser at Parker-Binns Vineyard on October 6. Sunny skies, wonderful people, great band, homemade soups & bread and savory Parker-Binns wines made for a fun time for all. We hope everyone will join us again next year for the 5th annual Empty Bowls fundraiser on Saturday, September 29, 2019!
