Thankfully the feel-good folks at CHEERS! are back at it this week (Friday September 4th / 6-9PM) with the best excuse yet to celebrate the onset of harvest and everything that goes with it. If that’s not a good enough reason to get in on the action, it’s Labor Day which means you have ample time to recover from all of the food, wine, and frolic that this month’s swing around the CHEERS! maypole is sure to instigate. The formula doesn’t change (which is a damn good thing – why mess with a job well done?) so we can expect wine pours from hottest grapevines in town (70+), music from our local vintner-musician set Wristrocket (playing until 10PM), bluegrass from The Flat Earth String Band, merchants opened late night (6-9PM), a bounty of street meat and food, and of course social interaction with a few thousand of your closest friends, tourists and neighbors. Rumor has it you might even spot a 50-person marching band trolling our town's streets. Admission is free and open to the public. If you want in on the wine tasting magic $35 beans grants you free tastes from all those that are pouring for the occasion. And parents need not be concerned because just like last month childcare and activities will be on deck for the little and mid-sized set. If you’ve yet to hop aboard the CHEERS! good times express (or the Napa Valley Wine Train) what are you waiting for? Time is literally running out. This is the last rendition where streets will be blocked off for the outdoor event action, and October marks the final social of 2009 (yes grab you’re hankie and pray for some sort of social miracle – like extending the frolic for months to come). So go ahead, even you commitment phobe types (you know who you are!) get over yourselves and commit to a rollicking good time this Labor Day weekend. You'll be glad ya did.
Catch a good thing while you can - CHEERS! St. Helena is coming to town this Friday
