And... a Taste of the Peninsula...
Saturday, Nov. 7th was the 3rd annual Taste of the Peninsula and it was a sold out success! It gives people and couples a night out to dress up and sample the best wines and menus across the Olympic Peninsula. Truly an amazing event that would not happen without the driving force of Communications & Development Director, Getta Rogers. With the help of the YMCA staff and an amazing turn out of sponsors this year, it went off without a hitch!
I was privileged enough to be able to go the whole evening and capture the night that will be unforgettable. There was live jazz front and center on stage, art from the YMCA Community Art School proudly displayed, a silent auction and of course the incredible food and wine tasting. What a great night and so glad that I could be apart if it!
There was a "Twilight" basket, so of course had to get a shot. ;)
There were amazing baskets decked out in bright colors and fun arrangements.
DELICious food! This was my favorite of the evening for sure. Italian bread topped with bacon, lettuce, salmon, tomato and this brilliant sauce on top. MMmm!
One word.... Cheeeeeeese!!!
I love this picture. I makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!
This one too! Would it ruin the picture if I told you that beautiful cake is fake? If it does, I'm just kidding ;)
Even DESSERT! How can you go wrong?!
And chocolate thats soooo amazing that you have to have a ticket to get one. It pretty much is equivalent to a golden ticket. Pretty much.
And of course the lovely, the talented, the beautiful cashier ladies, Mrs. Tonja and Mrs. Candi. You're Fabulous!! Thats all I can say :)
Live jazz from the "Taste of Jazz Quintet"
MMmm, food!
I really wish I would have gone up here during the middle of the evening. This is towards the beginning and doesn't even come close to showing how many people were actually there, not including the dining hall.
So it just goes without saying... you definitely need to go next year and find out the fabulousness of tasting the peninsula. It's deLISH!
So until next time, make sure you enjoy all the tastes of life.
