JimK: Savor Cannon Beach was a good weekend at Icefire Glassworks.
People were buying. Crowd was not over served. At least one restaurant
was 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<font size="-1"><font size="-1"> 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.</font></font><br></p><p>2. <font face="tahoma">Angel
