99blocks was a sponsor at the Art and Vine Festival on Saturday. We had a booth there. By the way thanks to all those who stopped by to see us, including my grandma, Dot who came out with me.
The weather was beautiful on Saturday and I am sure that those who came to the festival enjoyed themselves. From what I heard the wines were quite delicious. I think it is great that North Carolina is coming up in the the world of wines. I heard someone say the other day that NC seems to be becoming the California of the East. I do see some similarities there. The wines, the film industry in Wilmington, the coast and the mountains….and the fact that so many people are moving here from all over the country as well as internationally too.
I enjoyed seeing local business people at Art & Vine. It was great to see Robin from Mack and Mack. They have a new Ultra Suede line coming out which looks lovely. I also saw Catherine Gardner from The Tin Rooster/ Blue Diamond Gallery. She is a sweetheart. My husband enjoyed tasting the wines and I was quite impressed by the branding done by Rim Tapas. They supplied the wine glasses for the event (with their logo on them, of course). I see that the smart businesses have their brand all over the place. They don’t simply use one mode of publicity or one publication. It seems that the savvy business person surrounds their public with their brand prescence.
I really wanted to visit the Art Stock locations on Saturday. I know that Greensboro and the Triad has so many talented artisans and I am glad that they have these types of events to showcase their talents for the public. I did go last year, however and I do definitely support the arts locally.
So anyhow, Saturday was a nice time. We had family time also. My brother in law and sister in law and niece and nephew came to Greensboro from Charlotte. They along with my husband, mother-in-law and I had a nice lunch at Natty Greene’s. My inlaws love the new Center City Park.
Thanks to friends and family who are so supportive of me individually and thanks to all those who have been so supportive of 99blocks Magazine. I hope to continue meeting and greeting more of you soon!
I will be out this week delivering some of our Downtown Pets Issue. Be prepared for cuteness!
Your blog is fun to read. You are a great writer and I love your photographs. I couldn’t be more blessed to know a better person than you, and have you in my life. Perhaps with some help we can turn these online projects we have into a venture! As long as I am doing business in Greensboro and otherwize I hope we have more exciting adventures in and out of the 99.
