The 2nd Annual Art On Main Event

Twenty-five colorful banners pepper the downtown, while the original works are also on display in the sponsoring businesses. Online bidding is currently underway for both the banners and the original art work. Go to ART ON MAIN to see all the items. Then join us for refreshments and the final bidding frenzy on these beautiful works of art at the

Movie Event: Sideways — March 22

This More Than a Movie showing brings you right into the film with our very own wine tasting pre-show event! Starting at 6 pm, wine expert Shannon Fitzgibbons will explain the ins and outs of wine and food pairings while you sample the wine and the food. ZZest will be catering artisan cheeses and other fine pastry. Tickets are $20 (movie admission included) and can be reserved by emailing [email protected].

Nominated for five Oscars in 2005 (and winning one) "Sideways" stars Paul Giamatti, Thomas Haden Church and Virginia Madsen in a compassionate vintage comedy about friendship and all its imperfections. It follows two men who have reached middle age with not much to show for it but disappointment. They embark on a week long road trip through California's wine country, just as one is about to take a trip down the aisle.

Rated R.
