I’ve got a really great opportunity to share with you! The 6th annual Taste of Temecula Valley event is coming to Old Town Temecula this month and I have FIVE pairs of tickets to give away to FIVE lucky winners! This year is the 6th annual Taste of Temecula Valley and you really won’t want to miss the food, the entertainment, and the fun! There’s plenty of food and libations for Taste of Temecula Valley patrons. We are, after all, well-situated in wine country and Temecula boasts many microbreweries and top-notch restaurants. You can take part in two days of music, entertainment, nosh, and thirst quenching, in this fun, local community event. The best part? This event supports the local schools in Temecula Valley, as it is put on by the ***Temecula Education Foundation, and all proceeds go back to our schools.
We have been in Temecula for about 9 months now and I have to brag about this little city! It took no time for me to get involved in the Temecula Valley community. It’s a really fantastic place to live! It’s family-oriented, there are so many sports the kiddos can get involved in, it is a safe place to live, it’s more affordable than many places in California, and we have enjoyed every moment! There is a small town feel here and there’s always fun and exciting things to do. Old Town Temecula has grown over the years and there are fantastic places to eat and great shopping, and it continues to improve every day, it seems. We’re going to attend the Taste of Temecula Valley on Saturday, with the kiddo and we cannot wait!
