We're also excited to announce that the folks at New Helvetia will be joining us to pull some of their great local beers!
There will be mead and hard cider (from the farm), beer on tap, a farm fresh ice tea to help wash everything down, the Delta breeze to help cool everyone down, and a local musician to help everyone get down - Join us in celebrating the summer palate as we raise funds for Local Lunchroom!
*Guests are encouraged to bring their own wine - suggested corking fees ($10 for local bottles, $20 beyond the Valley) will go straight to Local Lunchroom.
