Always one to try and keep you abreast of community happenings, I'll let you know of a few activities taking place this weekend in the Cashion household.
The Salute wine festival began on Thursday, May 20 with several restaurants and local vineyards pairing to bring you customized menus/selections that feature the best of wine and food the Triad has to offer. If you are new to this event the dinners are certainly something to check out. They start at $60pp which is a bargain if you view the selections. If you can't enjoy the dinner portion, then take a moment on Saturday to come to downtown Winston to take part in the actual "street festival" portion of the event. There will be tons of wineries offering tastings and selling their products along with live music and various entertainment. Stay for the after-party which I hope to attend, that will start around 6ish and will host one of my all-time favorite bands Absolute 80's.
Tonight will also be a BIG night in our family, as we are joining some dear friends and attending our first Dash game as a family. Both Jake and I have been to the games, but never together and Maddie has yet to see a game at the new stadium. One of the highlights of the evening, besides spending this gorgeous Carolina night with friends, will be one of our friends' son singing as entertainment with his chorus. As my friend declared, to these kids, it might as well be Yankee stadium...can't wait to hear the performance!
To round out our weekend, because the weather looks to turn nasty, we are going to make a push to Spring clean. Trying to de-clutter to possibly get ready to put our home on the market is a real chore. Slowly, we have made progress getting some of our TO DO list knocked out...so to all of my listing clients out there--I FEEL YOUR PAIN! We have painted our exterior trim, replaced front porch post columns, landscaped, pine strawed, had windows cleaned, painted, had carpets cleaned and the list still has several items that need to be knocked out. Goodwill here we come!
Have a great weekend and I hope that you take the time to enjoy your family and friends regardless of your activity! If you know of anything else fabulous going on in our area, feel free to post for the rest of us to enjoy!

Arts D'Vine Event in Downtown Kernersville This Weekend...
Much like the Salute! wine festival featured in an earlier blog post, downtown Kernersville is joining the act by featuring not only local NC wineries, but also local artists and musicians. Unlike, Salute! this event is FREE and open to everyone. This unique event is a first for Kernersville and is an effort to draw residents and visitors to the downtown area who may not be familiar with what downtown Kernersville has to offer. After the recent 1.3 million dollar renovation, there will be plenty to enjoy!
The event will consist of businesses that will open their doors to local artists and wineries. Scattered throughout the event will be varying musical acts including The Chris Lane Band which seems to have a pretty decent following based on the crowd at Indigo Joe's a little over a month ago. There will be some sort of indicators on the participating businesses so make sure that you don't stay in one spot too long though the temptation will certainly be there!
My suggestion would be to arrive right at the beginning of the event, scope out some various vendors and then settle in to one of the more central locations for some music and some good 'ol fashioned people watching.
So I look forward to seeing you THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 6 from 5-8 in downtown Kernersville!
Cheers!

Salute!
Nope, not "Salute!" from Hee Haw! Our area has gotten much more sophisticated that that! With the burgeoning wine industry here in the Yadkin Valley, we are blessed with events that showcase the various flavors of the area. One of those such events is being held this weekend in downtown Winston-Salem!
Salute! will begin on Friday, May 8 with a showcase of sorts. Three participating restaurants, Camel City Cafe, Noma and WS Prime will be pairing with three featured vineyards to present dinner and dessert with complementary wine selections. All three restaurants are fabulous and the menus on the Salute! website are enough to make your mouth water...I personally am trying to figure out how I can go to all three restaurants...hmmmm! Each restaurant is under $100 per couple making it a great Mother's Day gift or a unique night on the town. For those of you who complain that there isn't anything to do in W-S, here is ONE MORE event that proves you wrong! You just have to leave your home to enjoy these things! :)
On Saturday the actual festival begins at noon and lasts until 6. The cost is $20 per person to sample various selections from local vineyards, to enjoy the camaraderie of friends and family and to listen to live music! Once this portion of the event concludes, there will be an "after-party" hosted by Foothill Brewery (perfect for folks who are not "winos"). This event is free of charge from what I can deduce from the website.
Full day in downtown W-S and if you are hungry for something other than what is provided there are a ton of downtown restaurants that will be open for lunch, dinner and late night! Remember drink responsibly and take a cab home! Have fun and Salute!
