Sip, Savor, Celebrate
Editor: Some of you may have seen me at the Saturday Farmers’ Market. I’ve been there most weeks selling raffle and event tickets to Healdsburg Museum’s largest fundraiser. Or you may have seen our ads in the Tribune, but you may not have purchased your tickets yet. There’s still time.
We invite you to join us for an entertaining afternoon in the vineyards at our “Sip, Savor & Celebrate!” party on Sunday, Sept. 14, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Sbragia Family Vineyards. The party will be complete with delicious refreshments, award-winning wines, musical entertainment and special pop-up exhibits from the Museum’s collection.
Thanks to the generous support of many area wineries we have been able to amass an impressive array of wines to raffle in our “Instant Wine Cellars.” Other local businesses have donated an interesting collection of silent auction items that will be up for bid.
All of the proceeds help to fund your local museum. The monies raised now enable us to maintain our “no admission fee” policy making the museum and all it has to offer accessible to our entire community.
Contact the Healdsburg Museum (431-3325) now to place your order.
Be a winner — support your museum.
Stan Becker, Healdsburg Museum Board President
Apple prices
Editor: Thank you for printing my letter “Market Prices” last week on Aug. 28. I have had some very positive feedback on what I had to say. I did make a huge mistake which, I need to correct now. I wrote that we sell the apples for $1.25 each but that is incorrect. We sell our apples for $1.25 a pound. There are three to four apples in a pound so this makes a big difference. Don (My husband) did not appreciate my mistake.He has been very happy about keeping the price so affordable. This meant that he could share the taste of non-sprayed apples right off of the tree with everyone. I don’t want to be another problem added on to the rest, stopping Don from enjoying his love of continuing to supply these healthy and delicious apples to everyone. I absolutely believe that one of his full time jobs should bring him joy.
