"Wine, Jazz and Art On The Arkansas" (free admission!) is moving to the Holy Cross Abbey Winery grounds on Highway 50 at the east end of Cañon City, and we're obviously changing the game plan!  We'll "Jazz It Up!" with a full selection of award-winning wines from The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey, and we will feature some terrific jazz bands!  It will take place over the weekend of June 21 and 22 (Saturday and Sunday), 2008, and will be one of Southern Colorado's premier exhibits for artists, artisans and crafts experts!  And this year, with the new setting at The Winery, we'll be featuring a terrific lineup of jazz bands!  We'll feature "The Brad Bietry Quartet," "Changing Times," "The Queen City Jazz Band," the Pikes Peak Jazz and Swing Society and much more! As in years past, we will feature an amazing array of arts & crafts, accompanied by entertainment, food & fun, in a beautiful setting at The Winery.  The juried event will draw another great crowd for a great cause!  Contact us now for information on exhibiting your crafts!   Click here for an artist application for the 2008 event!
