Ponca City Iris Festival Saturday April 30, 2005

Festival Theme is Made-in-Oklahoma

I am happy to report that the Ponca City Iris Festival will NOT be held the same weekend as the Nuyaka Creek Spring WineFest. I enjoy the Iris festival, but it often is scheduled at the same time as one of the two annual wine events held at my parent's winery.

The Ponca City Iris Festival will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2005. The festival includes music, arts & crafts, food, and don't forget the wine and cheese tasting! This year the Iris Festival theme will be: Made in Oklahoma products, good food & wine, art & music, and lawn & gardening.

Don't miss the annual Chocolate Festival and baking contest, the annual Iris Show and garden tours, experience several breathtaking works of art and live concerts throughout the day.

The festival will be housed on the newly renovated City Hall Complex located Downtown at 516 E. Grand Ave. The newly revised grounds feature a beautiful fountain and plaza standing beside the proud 1918 Spanish colonial style building.

A big thanks goes out to Charlie from VinoGlo Wine Lamps for letting me know about this upcoming event. Stop by and see Charlie's wine bottle lamps at the Ponca City festival or in the gift shows of many Oklahoma wineries. I hope to see you there!
