grounds on Castleberry Road.
"This is our signature event
and a major fund-raiser for
us,” said Lee Ann Baumann of
Family Haven, an emergency
shelter for battered women and
their children. Baumann said
that last year’s event, which
was held at Forsyth County’s
Central Park, generated
SIO,OOO. She said that she is
hopeful that this year’s event
will double the contributions,

the event, which will feature a

Some tastings will require

A highlight of Sunday’s
event will be a live broadcast
by Rhubarb Jones of Eagle

event beginning at noon.
In addition to the food, a

offer their goods.
A raffle of a 2004 Nissan
