“We are looking forward to another fantastic Vineyard Run this year,” said Deb Ehrhardt, coalition president. “It takes place, rain or shine, in the beautiful scenic area near the winery. It’s a fun community event in conjunction with Steele Wines’ annual Harvest Festival, and it supports our coalition and its work helping Lake County residents gain reading and writing skills they need.”
“We look forward to this event every year,” adds Chereese Sills, the coalition’s race director. “We typically have wonderful weather, and the atmosphere and scenery can’t be beat. The event is perfect for everyone from the serious runner to the walkers and families enjoying a Sunday outing.”
