"Sweets & Wines" Last HDA Event for Executive Director, Liz Sparling

This Saturday, April 2, 2005 from 5:00pm - 8:00pm will be the "Sweets and Wines of San Benito County".  The Veteran's Hall will be beautifully decorated by downtown retail merchants; there is an outstanding fashion show, local wine tasting, chocolate/dessert tasting, light appetizers and local art show.

It is truly a wonderful way to spend a Saturday evening.  The cost is $10 at the door and, if you choose, you may taste wine for an additional $10 (which includes a NEW event glass!). This event honestly reflects the wonderful assortment of food, wine, retail stores, art and so much more that San Benito County has to offer.  Please join me at this event.  You will not be disappointed.

The above leads me to realize that this will be my last event as the Executive Director of the Hollister Downtown Association. As many of you have already heard, I have accepted the offer to be the Executive Director of the San Benito County Chamber of Commerce.  April 8th will be my last day in the HDA office.  Not to fear, many qualified applicants have already contacted our office and, of course, Diana Thorson will fill my shoes until a replacement has been found.

I have truly enjoyed working for the HDA.  I have learned so much and have met so many wonderful people and the best part is that I will still be able to do the part of my job that I like best....working with all of you.

Thank you so much for all of your support and please, join me at "Sweets and Wines of San Benito County" this Saturday.
