Usually also showcasing one of Plainfield's grand homes, this year's event -- the 10th annual tasting -- will be at the Plainfield Public Library itself, where the award-winning new Rain Forest-themed Children's Room will be featured.
Ms. Jackson and her Jazzin' All-Star Tio will be performing poolside in the Library's signature atrium, which will serve as one of three tasting stations for the event.
Plainfield's own Harry Ailster will perform Gershwin favorites in a café setting in the Anne Louise Davis room, where a photography exhibit of East Coast blues musicians currently graces the walls.
The PAAAS Jazz Octet debuted at January's Friends' annual meeting. |
This year's tastings will highlight the wines and wineries of New Jersey, including two Pinot Grigios, a Riesling and a Barbera. The buffet will feature fancy hors d'oeuvres, entrees and desserts.
Sponsored by FOPPL, the annual event raises funds in support of Library programs. This year's projects include --
- The Adult Literacy Program, offering basic literacy, ESL and GED instruction;
- Reading is FUNdamental, offering youth the opportunity to own books and build their own library;
- The Local History Program, offering historical Plainfield resources online for researchers and genealogists.
Tickets are available at the door at $60/person or $100/couple.
I'll be there, and look forward to seeing you there, too.
