Boots and bling at Wine Down support his fellow humans. Terra Restaurant will be catering the event with an awesome southwestern style menu. It was a perfect match to create a perfect local event. The night will begin with wine tastings and grazing foods. Next will be a short set by Chad followed by more tastings, hospitality and socializing. To end the evening will be a final set by Chad as well as autograph signing. “The concert is being held in the barn which has outstanding acoustics and atmosphere,” comments Lisa. “This is a great chance to have an intimate evening with Chad as well as Harper’s Trail.” This event is all in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, which mean 100 per cent of the money raised, will be given to the organization. “There has been tremendous community support for this event. People have been asking how they can be involved,” Lisa says. “Also the ticket sales are really picking up. The hope is that we can make this an annual event and bring in a different artist each year.” If you would like to be a part of this intimate evening of great eats, tasteful wine and great music, get your tickets at Harper’s Trail Winery at 2720 Shuswap Road, or the Heart and Stroke Foundation office at 729 Victoria Street. This is said to be one the major events of the summer. Ashley Demedeiros

Harper’s Trail was the perfect choice because they are a local winery, which uses their own grapes, plus it has a country feel with its horseshoe logo and the ranching area that they are located in. “It was natural to bring in a country singer,” adds Lisa. “They (Harper’s Trail) were super excited to work with the Heart and Stroke Foundation.” Also Chad Brownlee is a philanthropist who is always looking for ways to
