ROCK ISLAND - Tickets for the Broadway Historic District's signature fundraiser, the Wine Walk, are available for sale.
The 4th Annual Wine Walk is set for Saturday, Aug. 2, from 6 to 9 p.m. The event sold out in 2013, so those interested in attending are encouraged to act quickly. At the Wine Walk, attendees visit four premier homes in the Broadway Historic District and enjoy an assortment of wines and gourmet appetizers.
Tickets are $35 each. Only a limited number of tickets are available, and tickets must be purchased in advance in order to attend. To purchase tickets via credit card, visit www.BroadwayDistrict.org. To purchase tickets by check or cash, contact Wine Walk Co-Chair Anthony Heddlesten at (309) 786-2699 or heddlesten@gmail.com.
Proceeds from the Wine Walk support the 501(c)(3) organization's efforts to revitalize homes through the Great Unveiling program, to repair sidewalks, to plant trees and other decorative landscaping, and to landmark historic properties.
