1. JimK: Savor Cannon Beach was a good weekend at Icefire Glassworks.

negatively impacted. BobN: New this year was the 1pm start for the Wine
Walk on Saturday. This info caught local businesses off guard.
StephanieA/Primary Elements Gallery: Friday night's Savor Event - Gallery
Invitational - was ok. It was hard getting people to commit to coming.
GeorgeV: Event venues were not clearly marked. Maybe flags or banners would
help. BobN: Saturday's Wine Walk sold out and many people couldn't get
tickets. Maybe raise the price next year, or have more venues for more
people. TracyA: Because volunteers were hard to come by, monitors had to be
shared in some cases. KathyK: It was a very good wine tasting crowd. People
seemed to focused on tasting and not "getting lit". BobN: at Friday night's
Battle of the Blends EVOO's House Blend took 1st prize and at Battle of the
Bites, Seasons Cafe took 1st prize.
