Chris Wilson, from the Village Pantry of Roscoe, said they organized the event to help Clary Gardens complete a children’s garden. “This started out as simply using the 200-seat amphitheater at Clary Gardens for an outdoor barbecue demonstration, and has turned into an exciting festival,” he said. “We have 10 wineries involved, craft vendors, lectures, live dulcimer music, a silent auction with sports memorabilia from collegiate and professional teams, activities for families, wine tastings, barbecue demonstrations, cheese and food samples, silent auction, and garden tours.”
Admission price will include the lectures, garden tours, and the evening concert. “There will be a limited number of tickets at the gate,” said Wilson. “Tickets can also be purchased online at http://www.tasteforsummer.com or http://www.mimideals.com.”
Wineries attending the event include: Buckeye Winery, Swiss Heritage Winery, Breitenbach Wine Cellars, Troutman Vineyards & Winery, The Winery At Wolf Creek, Terra Cotta Vineyards, Viking Vineyards, Shawnee Springs Winery, Heritage Vineyards, and Raven’s Glenn Winery.
Wilson said that several craft and food vendors will be on the grounds, including Dave Dailey from Grillin’-n-Chillin’ and the Warehouse Steak-n-Stein. “We will have demonstrations and lectures on such topics as gardens, Civil War music, food of the Civil War, and wine making. There will be 20 dulcimers and other instruments playing throughout the gardens and a concert at 4 p.m. to close the festival. There will also be a silent auction with sports memorabilia from collegiate and professional teams, sponsored by Gametime Auction from Columbus. Donations, for the silent auction and door prizes, from the community would be greatly appreciated to help the Clary Gardens children’s garden.”
Parking for the event is available at the Central Ohio Technical College parking lot, the upper parking lots on Hill Street, and the Roscoe Village Visitor Center parking lot. There will be shuttles to all parking areas. “We are also planning to have the old-time horse surrey traveling through Roscoe Village for visitors to ride to the event from Roscoe,” said Wilson.
He added that there are still a few openings for vendors and applications are located on the website.
