Wine & Art event provides student scholarships.

PENTWATER — The 15th annual Wine & Art Event, sponsored by the Pentwater Women’s Club, is set for Sunday, May 22, from 2-5 p.m. at Park Place, 310 N. Rush St.

This popular event regularly draws crowds of 175-200 people who can enjoy the smorgasbord of appetizers contributed by club members; sample a wide variety of wines provided by Port View Beer & Wine Market; and bid on hundreds of handmade gift items, artist creations, products donated by local merchants, and service certificates.

All proceeds benefit the scholarship fund of the Women’s Club which supports the continuing education of Pentwater High School graduating seniors and women returning to college at West Shore Community College to further a career. The scholarship fund has been supporting students for 47 years, and in recent years the proceeds have funded multiple generous scholarships.

Event tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door. They are available from any club member or can be purchased at Jilly’s and Port View Wine in downtown Pentwater.

One of the favorite features of the event is the raffle of a king-sized colorful quilt made by a group of the club members. Raffle tickets, which are $5 for one or $10 for three, are available at Jilly’s, West Shore Realty or Sew Let’s Be Quilty in Pentwater throughout the summer. The winning raffle ticket will be drawn Friday, Aug. 12, at 3 p.m. in front of the Pentwater Chamber of Commerce during Pentwater’s Homecoming Weekend.
