New home for Prosser Wine & Food
Fair - If
you've attended the Prosser Wine & Food Fair in the
past 27 years, you will need directions to its new
home this summer. Washington State
University's agriculture research station north of
town will provide a new venue for the festival.
The modern Washington wine industry got its start at
the research station, thanks to the work of Dr.
Walter Clore; having the festival there is rather
poetic. The festival is Saturday, Aug.
8. Tickets, which are $20, go on sale May 1.
