You can enjoy a night of wine taste for a good cause. Girl Inc. is holding the fifth annual Wine Market Saturday night at the education center at the Parks at Chehaw. There will be dozens of wines to sample, food, and artwork and plants on sale.

"The profit level at Wine Market has been from about $6,000 to $8,000 every year. It's important to us in that it helps support the programs we use for girls. We have after-school and summer programs for girls aged seven to eighteen," said Lynn Isler.

Tickets are $40 in advance and $50 at the door. Wine Market begins Satruday at 5:00PM.
