Lindsay Pomeroy of Wine Smarties at Wine, Chocolate, and Cheese Fundraiser

The San Diego Women's History Museum sponsored a wine, cheese and chocolate festival on Friday, June 4, in the Spanish Village section of Balboa Park, with commemorative wine glasses awarded to the first 500 attendees.

Dozens of well-known chocolatiers, wine and cheese vendors participated by offering samples of their wares for tasting and enjoying. As well, attendees were entertained by San Diego's Queen of Boogie Woogie, Sue Palmer. The festival was sold out this year.

The Festival was held to promote and support the on-going activities at the Women's History Museum located at 2323 Broadway. This includes both cultural and educational exhibits, lectures, vintage clothing presentations, school tours and a well-developed college student intern program.

Various gifts, including the wine glasses provided by Prudential California Realty, and $195 Vouchers for Skin Care and over $300 in Discount Cards for local restaurants were available to festival attendees. Paper goods, meanwhile, were donated by Comerica Bank.

Tickets for next year's festival can be purchased on the Women's History Museum website.
