Hundreds gathered at the Fiorelli Winery on June 29 for the fourth annual Red, White and Blueberry Festival. The event raises money for Suncoast Charities for Children.
Food trucks fed the crowd. The wine and the band, One Night Rodeo, kept them dancing.
When the lead singer, Duane Allison, said the band was from Bradentucky, Jennifer Yelton felt right at home. Yelton is brand new to town from Kentucky, and she’s already found her new hangout.
“I’ll be coming back here before next year’s festival,” she said. “I love the wine.”
To wrap up the evening, Alison led the crowd in singing the national anthem before the sky lit up with fireworks.
