Greening the Comox Valley St. Patrick’s Dinner
This year we will celebrate the winning photographs from the 2018 Keeping It Living Competition – the photographers will receive their awards and their photographs will be displayed and up for auction. We will also unveil the new Safe Haven label on this terrific dessert wine that is being bottled right now! Ebbing, the artwork for the new label, was generously donated by Monica Gewurz.
Monica Gewurz is a mixed media contemporary artist living in Vancouver, with a science and art background she is a supporter of Nature Trust BC, the Pacific Salmon Foundation and other great environmental causes. This summer while visiting the Comox Valley, she was inspired by the Kus-kus-sum initiative and our other projects in the Island and decided to support this great project by donating some of her artwork. Prints of Ebbing (featured in the 40 Knot fortified wine) will be available for sale and Copper Ocean, another of her paintings, will be auctioned with the
photographs.
As usual the celebration will include a traditional Irish meal by As You Like It Catering, Irish music and local 40 KNOTS wine. There will also be a 50/50 draw, prizes for best dressed and a limerick competition.
