Party in the Park May 8, 2009

As the weather warms and the flowers bloom, the Central Valley knows it's time for Party in the Park. Grab a wine glass and beer mug. Wait, beer mug? That's right, in addition to top California wineries, almost 600 attendees sampled unique micro-brews while raising thousands of dollars for CSUB student scholarships.

Vinters from throughout California lined up to pop their corks for the worthy cause. With wineries such as Croad, Arroyo Robles, Chumiea, Opolo, Rutherford Ranch, Roundhill, and Souza Family, the evening was immensely successful. The new beer lineup included micro-brews from Lengthwise Brewery, Kern River Brewery and Stella Artois from Advance Beverage.

Party in the Park has become a Bakersfield tradition, especially for alumni. This event is a great way to have a good time with friends while giving back to the university and students. The event sold out again in 2009, so get your tickets early for 2010!
