‘Women, Wine and Wednesdays’ comes to Big Lake July 18

BIG LAKE — The first Big Lake Women, Wine and Wednesdays event is at 6:30 p.m., July 18 at the Lakeshore Studio in East Lake Mall.

Organizer Ina Mueller said the idea is to create an event where local women can experience a new wine each month paired with delectable appetizers and enjoy some time with “the girls,” while learning about something new.

“Each month a different guest speaker or presenter will enlighten us or teach us about subjects that run the gambit from health, wellness and beauty, to crafting, decorating, travel and more,” Mueller said.

Local artist Linda Lockhart kicks off the series with a presentation on how to up-cycle your shoes into works of art on July 18. She will also offer for sale several pair of shoes she has turned into wearable art and will take orders for custom designs.

Tammy Griffin who will talk about her experience being abducted while on vacation in Mexico with her husband Mike in 2006 at the Aug. 15 Women and Wine event.

Cost is $25 per person, and includes wine. RSVP for the first event. Future events are planned on the third Wednesday of each month.
