16th Annual Calgary Rocky Mountain Wine and Food Festival - Tickets Giveaway

Fall is definitely hitting Calgary and I heard we’re supposed to be expecting snow soon! Yikes! I guess it is Calgary after all, at least we had a relatively mild September, but now that it’s October we can look forward to other things. Like the Rocky Mountain Food & Wine Festival happening next weekend October 18 & 19 at the BMO Centre in Stampede Park.   It’s one of the best parts of the autumn season!

Again, I have a set of tickets for Saturday October 19^th afternoon session (12-4pm) to give away as well! So message me through twitter or respond to this post and I’ll do a random draw next week for the winner.

For all of you that are interested, here’s a bit more information.  Plus there are still additional tickets available for purchase, but they might sell out soon so don’t wait too long! Also, new for this year, they’re holding an afternoon tasting session for those that want to avoid the long lines and big crowds. It’s also great for those that already have evening plans!
