Coming up...Peoples Library 3rd Annual Adventure with Wine!

Peoples Library's "Adventure with Wine" is a fabulous fundraiser held every year right here in our library on a Fall evening.  Once the library closes, the white linens come out, and we set up our tables with hors d'ouevres and wine.  This year's event will be held on October 19th from 7 to 9 PM.  Attendees will learn about wine as they taste a wide variety, and enjoy food selections paired expertly with both reds and whites.  The event is catered by the fine folks at Hoffstot's.  This year, they will delight your tastebuds with:

    • crostini with cranberry/cinnamon goat cheese and roasted pear tapenade
    • roasted tomato and asiago risotto cakes
    • marinated chicken, red pepper and asparagus on bamboo skewers with chili mojo dipping sauce
    • blackened filet mignon sliders presented on miniature sesame buns with horseradish cream, arugula, carmelized onion cheddar and tomato
    • and for dessert, miniature tuile cups filled with housemade chocolate mousse and assorted cheesecake lollipops.

An elaborate Chinese auction also features baskets of desirable prizes. 

For $30 a person, you can attend this exciting event and help raise much needed funds for Peoples Library.  To register, visit our Events Page and scroll to Adventure with Wine.  (Look for the glass of merlot!)  Or stop in at our New Kensington or Lower Burrell location to pay with a check.
