Live Jazz Music
Nothing goes with wine better than Jazz. You can enjoy the beauty surrounding as the music fills the air. Aimee Nolte, jazz musician and singer, and guitarist Hideaki Tokunaga will entertain us throughout the afternoon.

Aimee is a Weaverville native, now living in L.A. Aimee and Hideaki perform weekly at "Bobby London" in Koreatown. Her first CD is "Up Till Now". We hope that you can join us. Listen to music clips...

The Awesome Appetizer Cookoff
Calling All Chefs!! This year our cookoff is a competition for the best appetizer. Chefs compete for the Judge's Award with a cash prize, Crowd Favorite, and a Showmanship Award. Entries are limited to 20.

Contestants will bring extra samples for your tasting. If you like an appetizer, you can use one of your voting tickets to help her or him win the Crowd Favorite award. To add to the fun, you can purchase extra voting tickets for $2/ea and "stuff" the ballot box. The contestant with the most "votes" wins. The proceeds from the extra voting ticket sales are split 50/50 with the Crowd Favorite winner.

Microbrews and Food
At the Fest, you can purchase some of our favorite local microbrews - Etna Brewing and Lost Coast.

The Weaverville Clampers will be here cooking their excellent Philly Steak and grilled chicken sandwiches. If you have never tasted the Clampers' cooking, you are in for a treat. If you have, you know how good these sandwiches are.
