Goat Derby
Saturday, May 12, 1:00 and 3:00 p.m.
We know you’ve all heard of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, but do you know about the Goat Derby at The Winery at Wolf Creek? The first annual Goat Derby will be held on Saturday, May 12th. Wolf Creek’s Persnickety ‘Peanut’, Alpine Mountain Racer ‘Cashew’, and Wolf Creek’s Slow but Steady ‘Mona’ will all be racing wearing their finest silks. Come place your donation ‘bet’ on the goat of your liking and cheer them on as they race across the lawn to vie for the coveted bucket of grain. Each goat will be ‘racing’ for a different animal non-profit including Give Pets A Chance, Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary, and Pawsibilities Humane Society of Greater Akron. Donation ‘bets’ will be matched by The Winery at Wolf Creek. Wear your best derby hat to celebrate the day. No mint juleps but there will be plenty of wine!

Photographs by Jeffrey Gibson
Saturday, May 26, 1:00–5:00 p.m.
Photographer Jeffrey Gibson will be displaying his beautiful photographs at The Winery at Wolf Creek on Saturdays May 26th and July 7th. Jeffery Gibson taught in the Revere School district for thirty-six years. He took up photography as a hobby about nine years ago. Since then many of his photos have appeared in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park calendars. His image Early Morning Fog was awarded first place in the Ansel Adams Gallery international photo contest. Just recently, two of his photographs took first place in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park photo contest. Jeffrey lives in the Cuyahoga National Park so it should not come as a surprise that most of his photos are taken within the park. He is currently working on a book featuring the four seasons within the park. Jeffrey’s photography can be viewed at www.crookedriverimages.com and visit his blog at www.jeffreygibsonphotos.blogspot.com. Come visit the Winery on a beautiful summer day and see his work first hand.
