The Manhattan Park District Foundation is proud to announce that the Third Annual Round Barn Farm Wine Festival will be held on Saturday September 11, 2010 at the historic Baker-Koren Round Barn Farm located on Route 52 just south of Baker Rd. The event is once again sponsored by the Manhattan Park District Foundation, CD Liquors and Berkot’s Super Foods.
This year’s event will run from 4:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m., featuring an expanded selection of food choices from Parmesan’s Wood Stone Pizza, Connolly’s Catering and the Double Deuce Bar & Grill; there will also be some chocolate goodies for those with a sweet tooth. The entry fee to the Festival will include ten free tastings showcasing 40+ wines from the states and around the world, and some terrific microbrewery beers. Once again there will be outstanding live music provided, the band the committee selected this year is “Good 2 Go” starting at 5:30 p.m. until 10:00 p.m., a silent auction, and a raffle (drawing at 8:00 p.m.), featuring a 4-day Caribbean cruise and an Apple iPad.
The Baker-Koren Round Barn Farm is a Will County Historical Landmark and it preserves history dating back to the 1832 settlers of Will County, Manhattan, Illinois. If you have never had the opportunity to visit this landmark you will be impressed and overwhelmed by the land with its wonderful canopy of oak trees, the beauty of Jackson Creek and the grandeur of the
round barn itself. Proceeds from the Round Barn Farm Wne Festival go toward the planned preservation, restoration, and development of the Historical Buildings, open space, oak grove, wet lands, and future recreation of this memorable property.
Pre-sale tickets will be $20.00 and $25.00 if purchased at the door. This will be a “Rain or Shine” event, with additional facilities available, as a rain contingency. Come visit us this year and see why our attendance continues to double year after year. This event promises to be an enjoyable evening. Must be 21 to attend.
