Get ready for the Roaring Twenties at this year’s Naramata Tailgate Party

NARAMATA – The wineries of the Naramata Bench are gathering for the annual Naramata Tailgate Party coming up next month.

Join the 30 wineries from the Naramata Bench in this annual food and wine event on Saturday, Sept. 14 at the Naramata Heritage Inn from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

The celebration of harvest includes wine tastings, tapas and tunes throughout the evening. Taste the terroir through locally made wines and enjoy creative tapas from local chefs while listening to live music in a fun and friendly atmosphere.

Several Naramata restaurants will be represented and there will be an opportunity to meet the local grape growers. This year’s theme is the Roaring Twenties, the era when Naramata and the Naramata Heritage Inn were in their early days.

Prizes will be available for the best costumes.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
