JACKSON, Tenn., - Hundreds of residents gathered at the Jackson Fairgrounds Saturday to taste and enjoy a wide variety of wine and food.
The Jackson Exchange Club hosted the Toast of Jackson. The event is a fine wine and art festival which celebrates local and regional wineries. There were nearly a dozen in attendance.
Attendees could enjoy gourmet foods served by local eateries, and the event showcased a wide selection of artisans and crafts people.
The fun event helped to raise thousands for those in need.
"I enjoy seeing every body come out. I enjoy the fact that the Exchange Club is raising a bunch of money today that will go to our four areas of focus-mainly child abuse prevention, and seeing the Jackson Community come out it is a great event," said Brian Crowckarell
This was the Second Annual Toast of Jackson.
