Sun Valley Weekend & WAW Reunion

Over the weekend, Ken and I stayed with our good friends, Trudi & Dave Syferd, in Sun Valley to attend some of the Sun Valley Wine Auction festivities.  These events raise funds for the arts in Sun Valley.
We reconnected with many of our WAW (aka WhoopAssWino) friends at the annual Winetasting in the afternoon and then the Concert & Picnic at Warm Springs. There were some challenges at the picnic with insufficient food and disorganized service but representatives from Sun Valley Center for the Arts handled this beautifully the next day by making follow up calls to apologize and to offer refunds.
After the picnic, we journeyed to Lane Ranch for the “12th WAW Reunion and Apres Picnic Party.” This party is a tradition where WAW members and guests bring wine to share.  This is the annual event when selected new provisional and active members are inducted into this prestigious organization.  See third photo above to see Rick & Jacque Doane following their induction and fourth photo to see Carl & Renee Behnke being officially inducted.
But all was not about wine thankfully.  In addition, I had the chance to play two games of golf, one at the Sun Valley Golf Course and the other at the Elkhorn Golf Club with friends, Dave & Trudi, Anne-Marie Hedges and Susan Richey.
See photos of WAW members above.
