Even with showers for the past several days, the skies partially cleared and the temps, perfect for the August Starry Nights @ Veritas Vineyard and Winery. Our Paul Purpura was there to capture some of the images.
A huge crowd packed the lawn at Veritas just before dark this past Saturday. The night kicked off with the Eli Cook Trio. The main act for the evening was Little Freddie King - New Orleans Blues Legend.Of course the evening was about great wine and food too!As the sun set, people gathered around the huge bonfire that's become a stape at each of the Starry Nights. People danced the night away!Just because they asked Paul to take their picture!
Join us every first Thursday of the month from 11:30am-10:00pm for Steal the Glass at Blue Mountain Brewery. Buy a $5 beverage and keep the logo glass it comes in. No limit to glassware.
