A Taste of Ashland

Hey everyone. I'm originally from Ashland and just in case anyone will be in the Southern Oregon area I thought I might post this. Each Year the anual Wine, Food and Art Festival "A Taste of Ashland," is sponsored by the Ashland Gallary Association. It is a walking tour of Ashland and is a big event every year. Galleries throughout downtown and the Railroad district will have special exhibitions of the work of local and nationally known artists for a showcase event! There will also be art demonstrations and performances across the city taking place. Tourists and locals tour from gallery to gallery, hitting many vunues as well as sampling downtonwns finest wineries, bakeries, restaraunts etc. Nearly 30 galleries are involved and 19 businesses also host the works of different artists. This year the event takes place April 23 and 24 (Sat and Sun) from noon to 4pm. There is a cost involved for ticket purchases, but there is also a free preview Gala on the 22 from 6-9pm at the Ashland Springs Hotel located downtown. Anyone who would like to read about more information you can check out this website, where you can also purchase tickets: http://www.ashlandspringshotel.com/taste_of_ashland.php
