The Farmville Wine Festival

04/28/2026

I cannot say enough about our fabulous band!! The Castaways Band!! If you didn’t enjoy them Saturday, sorry, but there is something seriously wrong!!!???

When Karen broke out the Teddy Swim cover my son and I both lost our minds!! Music for thirty something’s and sixty something’s??? How cool is that? They write and sing fabulous beach music, their covers are spot on. What more do we need??!!!

Multiple instruments, multiple voices. I think this makes ten years (minus COVID) that we have been so honored to have them!! The Farmvile Wine Festival wouldn’t be nearly as much fun if they weren’t here. It isn’t just a paid gig for them either. They genuinely have a good time and enjoy being here for our attendees.

Thank you my friends!! See you next year!!!

We had a gorgeous day, til we didn’t!! Rain started about 4:45 and quickly became torrential. Thankful for all the people helping. That was the quickest tear down ever!! I think we had everyone out by 5:15. Some packing out in the rain. Thankful for James with the Town of Farmville for getting us set-up on Friday, our fabulous band The Castaways playing right up to rain and wind, our Farmer’s bank cashiers, our board members, our attendees, our vendors, our wineries, our great volunteers from Hampden Sydney and my son who came for the first time. He helped so much at the end as he helped several vendors in the torrential rain get packed out. It was a hot shower night with take-out when we got home. Preliminary estimate is that $7500 + dollars cleared for Meals on Wheels!! See you next year!!! April 24, 2027!!

An important part of Meals on Wheels is our volunteers. Every day drivers and those who come out to help with our wine festival. This fine young man couldn’t be with us this year but he has given us many years of dedicated service. At 6 or 7 he was riding the golf cart delivering ice to the wineries, as he got older he sclepped vendors down the hillside, drove one of our loaned Polaris vehicles, and always cheerfully helped do anything asked of him. He was there early, stayed late and many times brought fellow students from Fuqua to volunteer their time as well. We are sure missing him this year!!! Please help us give a huge shoutout to Josh Milligan one of our volunteers in the spotlight 2026.

Come join us Saturday at Riverside Park!!
