The North East Wine Festival will be taking place this weekend, September 25-27 at Gibson Park and Gravel Pit Park. You'll be sure to have a good time with all the fun activites planned for this event.

This year will feature 7 wineries in the Wine Tent, serving over 40 varieties of wines. There will be music to dance to, grapes to be stomped and wine to be drunk.

Family First Sports Park

Family First Sports Park (FFSP) has indoor sporting leagues throughout the year. I like participating in sports to keep me busy and active in my "weight gaining" holiday months. You don't have to be a superstar to play, you just need to WANT to play! Now, gather some friends and head to upper peach street to the parks facility to sign up.
Check out their leagues at www.familyfirstsportspark.com to learn more about their different sporting leagues. Maybe we'll see each other there!
