CALLING ALL HOTV MEMBERS......

Looking for something fun to do??? Join us on Saturday, August 17th for HOTV's Run, Wine, & Dine @ Lumos Winery!!!!

We are organizing a group trail run starting around 10:30 AM with different distances (all paces welcome). Then, kick back and enjoy some wine, food, and music at Lumos Winery in Philomath.

Don't feel like running???!???! Just join us at the winery for food and drinks. Festivities will be from noon to 5 PM. HOTV will be providing one drink ticket per participant as well as snacks. Feel free to bring a picnic lunch and bring a chair. We will have tables set up on the lawn under our canopies. We will also be providing transportation between the Fairgrounds and Lumos for those that do not want to drive all the way to Philomath. Carpooling is also encouraged (and reimbursable if you have 3 or more HOTV members in your car).
