Harvest Under The Stars

I received this information from Wes Malvini and he asked me to post it. Looks like it could really be fun.


Visit us for a magical, night under the stars where innocence and imagination take you back to the time of being a child! Event organizer, Wes Malvini has brought together Idaho's finest agricultural producers, local restaurants, businesses, citizens, musicians, and wineries to support the adoption of children from foster care! The event begins in the early parts of the day as a "Family Fun Day"--with games and booths to celebr...ate Idaho's harvest. Get your children's photos taken in the pumpkin patch or shop for local produce as your kids jump in the fun house and paint pumpkins! If you're just passing by, come on in and eat some lunch from Brenda's Foods and other local, fresh, and organic producers!

Later in the evening come back down and listen to the "joyful melodies, funky grooves, (and) soaring harmonies"* of Finn Riggins and rythmic, acoustic blues by The Quartertons. Fill your stomach muscles with laughter and eye sockets with wonderment as local comedian Heath Harmison and Mentalist, Mental Wes take you down a new kind of rabbit hole.

But that's not all! The night is catered by Idaho's Bounty delicious selection of local and sustainable foods! Also Idaho wineries such as Holesinsky Organic Winery, Davis Creek Cellars, and Woodriver Cellars!
