Second A Sip of the Slope wine fest set this Saturday
This chocolate fountain was a center of conversation and delight last year. It was prepared and presented by Georgene Ricker. This year's chocolate needs will be taken care of by Karen Lasen who, wine fest chairman Linda Murphy says, makes “incredible confectionaries.”
