More than 300 business people from the Brandywine Valley
took part in a Brandywine Conference and Visitors Center hosted by Penns Wood
Winery Monday night. Seven wineries and five restaurants from the area provided
food and drink. And the event was free.
Tore Fiore, executive director of the CVB said it was the
second such mixer in about five years. He said most of the group’s gatherings
are geared more toward educating members of promotions and public relations
opportunities, but the mixers are a little different.
“We wanted to make it different, unique and free,” Fiore
said. “We wanted to offer our members more an the standard event. … With the
economy being bad, people need to relax and enjoy.”
