Gourmet in the Glen Wine and Food Festival
The Gourmet in the Glen and New England Wine Show regional food and wine festival for 2007 has been a wonderful success for the third year.
The local community were joined by visitors from other regional areas, interstate and even overseas travellers to sample the fine food and wine of the region whilst listening to regional artists from Yamba.
The New England Wine Show was well attended with the maximum entries being submitted. The award winning wines were enjoyed by wine buffs from near and far, with many bottles being purchased for later enjoyment.
The “Celebrity Cook Off” provided much entertainment and humour while the short courses were well attended. The happy faces of the many children at the festival showed their excitement and pleasure, whether getting their faces painted or playing in the sandpit.
The hosts of “Gourmet in the Glen” and the New England Wine Show, Quota International of Glen Innes Inc. and the Glen Innes Show Society, thank all those who attended and especially all the sponsors and volunteers who make the combined event such a success. The funds raised will now be allocated to various projects which will benefit the local community.
The 2008 Wine and Food Festival is tentatively planned for Saturday 18th October 2008, at the Glen Innes Showground. The hosts of the event for the last 3 years, Quota International of Glen Innes Inc., have decided to focus on their many other community activities and are currently negotiating to hand over the management of Gourmet in the Glen to another community based organisation. An announcement is expected by the end of July 2008 and will be placed on this web site.
