Magic at the
Art & Wine Walk

Picture




Dear NoVAC & GGF Convention and Visitor's Bureau,

I had to write and tell you about the most magical thing that happened the other day.  After much persuasion, I managed to talk my mother and father to attend an art & wine walk.  (My husband and I have only missed one Art & Wine Walk since we began attending, and that was because we were getting married that particular day... we figured it would be bad taste to miss our own nuptuals...)  My parents, however, rarely attend this sort of thing... they loved it.  After going to every stop, my father, a humble hardworking man, proud as punch, won the River City Jewelers pearl necklace and (at the champagne reception at the Empire) walked up to get his prize in his signature overalls.

Two days later, mom & dad celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary- the pearl anniversary.  You truly made their day magical with your gift of pearls, wine, refreshment, music and fine company.  Thanks so much for the Art & Wine Walk!

Patrons also receive a free wine glass at the champagne reception

Those over 21 will receive a wristband, allowing participation in wine tasting. Active Military with valid ID receive $5 off.   Children under 12, accompanied by an adult, receive free admission.  The Art & Wine Walk is organized by the North Valley Arts Council and the Greater Grand Forks Convention and Visitors Bureau.
