A Taste of Chester County - Week 1

We hosted our first program in the A Taste of Chester County series.

Wine Tasting was hosted at the Kreutz Creek Winery. Karen Clinefrom the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail talked about the upcoming events happening around the wine trail and Carole Kirkpatrick, owner of Kreutz Creek Winery talked about how she got into the wine tasting business.
Both were wonderful and engaging!

The crowd was diverse, the energy was great, and the wine just kept coming!

The Advocacy Coordinator did a wonderful presentation about our library, and even found a way to tie the library and wine together by noting that there was 24 hour access to librarians on ccls.org that you can use to answer all of your wine tasting questions.

We had 30+ attendees who all left with big smiles and rosy cheeks.
Many called as soon as they got home to RSVP for the other events on the program.

This program was awesome. Even the people who presented said they were nervous about how "successful" this would be, and they were pleasantly surprised to see how great it turned out.

Both presenters expressed an interest in hosting other library related events, and I look forward to seeing what other successful programs we can plan!
