Winthrop Wine Festival

I just found out that the Winthrop Wine Festival is June 21!!!! here's the link http://www.winthropwashington.com/winthrop/winefestival.html
it's a great opportunity to experience Winthrop, however, that does mean that its a way to bring tourists to winthrop so you may want to consider booking your rooms now, again we do have some rooms blocked at several locations but only until april and/or through the end of april.
