"The more we can give, the more, you know, everybody's just gotta get along, and the world's too ugly the way it is now. You know, so anybody that can support anybody, I think, is a fantastic thing," event attendee Brian Gardner said.
"It's great there's a lot of local businesses, even some as far as Bloomsburg, so it's nice to see just a little bit further out, you know, what options we have for local wine enthusiasts," event attendee Bri DePetro told 28/22 News.
The event raised more than $15,000 on Saturday for Big Brothers Big Sisters and more than $65,000 for them in its first four years.
