Bash and Benefit will support nonprofit

"Grandview Vineyard is a family-owned and (family-operated) business celebrating their 10th anniversary," said Sarah Haines, owner. "You won't want to miss this amazing celebration."

Grandview will celebrate the milestone and support a local nonprofit at the 10th anniversary Bash and Benefit. The event will be held on Saturday, Sept. 9, at the vineyard, 1489 Grandview Road, Mount Joy. It will run from 1 to 8 p.m.

The festivities will feature music throughout the day from Adam Blessing, Ryan Moran, Schnazzy and the Grant Bryan Band. The Steel Wheels will headline the event with a performance beginning at 6:30 p.m. A variety of food trucks, including Fuego Latino, will be on-site, and wine and beer will be for sale. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets.

A grape stomp competition between two local businesses will take place at 3 p.m., and a live wine barrel auction will be held at 5:30 p.m.

Proceeds from the bash will benefit Aaron's Acres. "They provide activities and services year-round for children and young adults with disabilities," Haines said of the Lancaster-based organization. For 25 years, Aaron's Acres has been providing therapeutically based recreational programs to people ages 5 to 21. Activities are directed by specially trained and certified staff in an environment that bolsters socialization and communication skills. Care for the whole family, including emotional, educational and recreational support, is offered through the organization as well.

First Citizens Community Bank is sponsoring the Bash and Benefit, and additional sponsors are still being sought, Haines noted. For more information on sponsorship, contact sarah@grandviewwines.com.

Haines encourages everyone to come out and enjoy the beautiful setting of the vineyard while having fun and supporting a great cause. "What could be better than a relaxing afternoon and evening lounging by the vineyard, sipping on wine and beer with friends while listening and dancing to amazing local musicians and supporting children with disabilities?" Haines remarked. "This is a family-friendly event. Drop in for an hour or stay all day."
