Count Down to Edesia


      For all you last-minute foodies and libation fans out there, you can still buy tickets to the Fourth Annual Edesia: A Palisade Culinary, Wine & Spirits Adventure on Sunday, March 30, from 1-5 pm. But you need to act now.
      It’s really pretty simple. Log on to the website www.edesiapalisade.com, click on Buy Ticket, and charge on your credit card through Pay Pal’s secure account. You don’t have to have a Pay Pal account to purchase your tickets with your credit card. Or, you can stop by Wine Country Inn in Palisade and purchase them in person.
     Cost is $75, which entitles you to food, wine, beer and spirits as well as Celebrity Chef Demos and Live music.
      As it turns out, about a half dozen tickets are available for the VIP luncheon at 11 am to 1 pm. Cost is $125, which covers the three course meal and wine pairings for the luncheon and admission to the main event afterwards.
     For those who have scheduling conflicts, donations can be made on the website by clicking on the Donate button. All profits benefit Marillac Clinic, which serves uninsured and under-insured patients in Mesa County.
