“Buy Local, Save Buck$”
Major Patron: TD Bank
The Chamber and Major Patron TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank®, presented the 2010 Bucks County Wine Tour in May. Hundreds of tourgoers discovered how Bucks County’s gentle rolling hills, deep well-drained soils and moderate climate combine to make our community one of the premier grape growing regions of the east coast.
The theme of the 2010 tour was “Buy Local, Save Buck$” and promoted 10 Bucks County wine venues and complimenting local food partners who provided samples of their best delicacies. The event is a program of the Chamber’s Hospitality and Tourism Committee, Co-Chaired by Eric Hopkins, Esq. (Hopkins & Hopkins) and Beverly M. Miller, (Stepping Up and Out, Inc.). Very special graphic design courtesies were provided the Prizer Design Group, Inc., and Core Color Graphics provided printing services.
