Here are a few suggestions you might want to consider:

The Wytheville Farmers Market

When it comes to the Farmers Market, I know I have a tendency to go a little overboard, but our market has a growing and well deserved reputation for excellence. Aside from the products offered, it is also becoming a weekly social event. I mean really….anyone who is anyone goes to the market to shop and just hang out. Come by for a cup of Dave Richert’s coffee and one of Roxanne Winesett’s cheese Danishes and get your morning started right.

Crystal Springs Recreation Area

This weekend is the perfect opportunity to take the kids or that special someone for some quality time in the great outdoors. Call ahead to Fran’s Deli (276-578-2005) for a picnic lunch, and spend the afternoon exploring Crystal Springs Recreation Area. The newest addition to area parks, located on Pump Hollow Road just south of town, has something for everyone.

West Wind Farm Vineyard and Winery

David Manley invites you to join his family and friends Saturday evening to help celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the opening of West Wind’s tasting room. Dance to the soul sounds of Winston Salem’s Envision from 6-9 pm in one of the county’s most relaxing environments. Have a little wine and some mouth-watering North Carolina barbecue. It’s a southern beach party mountain style. Click the blogroll link for contact information.

A crowd of 150 plus danced to the soul sounds of Winston Salem’s Envision.

There was great food, fine wine, and happy faces all round.

The party lasted ’til sundown. If you weren’t there, you missed a really good time. Here’s the party in pictures:
