The Barn Tour 2009
Variety of St Helena locations
St Helena, CA
Preservation Napa Valley and Napa County Farm Bureau present the 1st annual Barn Tour: an annual event to celebrate our agriculture heritage.
Five barns will be toured on Sunday, August 30th, from 1-5 pm, all close to the town of St Helena, California. This open house type format will allow folks to see the beauty, place and importance of these Napa agricultural icons. Live -work, traditional working, retail, renovated and other types of barns will be open, with docents and histories for each barn. There will also be several special diversions, from an incredible artist's gallery to quick stop-overs at quirky, old places.
This fundraiser for Preservation Napa Valley will also produce a very special limited edition, hand type set, commemorative poster to raise additional funds. These collector quality posters will be designed by illustrator Mike Gray and produced by Jennifer Garden of Blue Stocking Press in Saint Helena. **PLEASE INDICATE IN AN EMAIL IF YOU WISH TO RESERVE AND BUY ONE OF THESE BEAUTIFUL POSTERS..See image graphic at http://preservationnapavalley.org/thebarntour2009.html
After visiting four barns, attendees will end up at the last barn, the White Barn on Sulphur Springs Road, for little noshing, nibbling and acoustic blue grass. Five local artists will be exhibiting their artwork and a brief presentation will be made by Preservation Napa Valley director Wendy Ward about the history, importance and rehabilitation of Napa Valley barns.
Cost: $45.00, **limited number of tickets available.**
Poster: $45.00 (this is a separate purchase from Brown Paper Tiks but let us know thru email if you want one.)
