Earth Day Bud Break Celebration at Summerside Winery in Vinita, OK on Saturday April 23, 2011.


The celebration starts at 11am with music at 12:30. The Bentonville Flute Circle was founded in 2009 and encourages the preservation, appreciation, and the advancement of traditional and contemporary First Nations Flutes. The circle provides an atmosphere that encourages everyone to grow musically, from the beginner to the recording artist. They always enjoy sharing the gifts of fellowship and everyone is invited to participate.

During intermission Summerside will hold a short “Blessing of the Vines” by Rev. JoAnne Wright. Participants will walk through the vines and see the 2011 bud break of the Chambourcin Vineyard along Historic Route 66 in front of the winery’s courtyard.
Summerside invites all to enjoy this time honored celebration of the earth’s spring season. No admission charge for flute circle activities, and of course there will be Made-in-Oklahoma wine and meads to taste. As always they have an array of grape juices for all to enjoy also and The Bistro also offers soups, sandwiches, salads and desserts.
