Last night I attended the final Parkside Wine on Wednesday of the year. Although it was not particularly well attended it was one of the best. The hosts for the evening really did a great job. There were plenty of chairs, the food was wonderful, the area was well lit and there was a nice sound system playing cool jazz.
Since this was so late in the season it was getting dark very early... around 7:30 pm and fully night by 8 pm. There were some spot lights coming off the back of the house and their were lights strung along the fences. They also had a great fire pit that was bright and warm as the night went on.
There was a good crowd at 9 pm and it took about another half hour for the party to end. Everyone was having a good time.
I went to this WOW by myself. Becky's back was not feeling well and she didn't want to be standing around on a cement driveway which was what had been happening at most of the WOWs this year. We really didn't know that there would be plenty of places to sit and she would have been OK. Matt and Stephanie always sign up for the last WOW in mid September and over the years we have usually not been able to make this one. It was always the same night at my Beer Club gettogethers too which it also was this year but I've not been attending them the past couple of years. We will need to make sure we go again next year. We went to five of them this year including the one we hosted.
