We are now making plans for the 2010 Wine Awards Book. Last year, due to the current economiccondition, we experienced a decline in the number of ads placed by wine shops, restaurants, and other related businesses. Their support goes a long way to help defray the cost of publishing the Awards Book. I solicit your help in finding new business prospects that have opened in the past year. Please email me the business name, address, contact person, and telephone number of any new business you believe I should contact. My email address is dwdeeble@cox.net. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Wine Award Book Cover Photo

Awards Contest

It’s that time of the year to start putting together the 2010 Commercial Competition Awards Book. This year, the Fair Theme is “The Beat Goes On.” We are now looking for that “perfect” picture to adorn the cover of our 2010 Awards Book. If you would like to submit a picture for consideration, please email a digital version to dwdeeble@cox.net. All digital entries must be 300 dpi resolution or better. If you have a 5 x 7 photograph, slide, painting, or hand drawing, mail them to the OCWS office to my attention. If you wish your entry to be returned, kindly enclose a SASE.  Remember, pictures may not include people or private property and must be of a public scene. The winner will enjoy the thrill of having his or her picture published as well as an award of two tickets to the 2011 Wine Extraordinaire or comparable event.

All entries must be received by May 10 to be considered.  Good luck to everyone!
