The McMinnville Food and Wine Classic

Well, just a quick post about the McMinnville Food and Wine Classic. It took place in the McMinnville Aviation Museum, which I had not been to since the Spruce Goose was moved there after it's restoration. I have other pictures of the move, which the construction crew had to do in several phases. Anyway, the museum is really nice and they even have a section dedicated to, you guessed it, Rosie the Riveter!

I met Adrienne and Paul there and we meandered all afternoon, tasting wine and checking out local artisans. These sculptures were really neat, all made out of re-claimed metal objects.



Some pics of the museum and the inside of one of the wings of the Spruce Goose. Can you believe they actually used beach balls in the wings to add to it's bouancy? Yeah....no wonder it only flew once.....


He we are on the shuttle back to the parking lot after a lot of wine and cheese samples!
