Chow down for kids
The mission of FACES (Family Advocacy, Care, Education, Support) is to prevent child abuse, neglect, and family violence. Support the cause at Thursday’s Grapes Against Wrath event — including two cook-offs, a silent auction, plenty of food from local restaurants including Barolo Grill and Vesta Dipping Grill, and wines provided by The Vineyard. The inimitable Gabby Gourmet presides.
