Farewell, Denis
All of us at VanWineFest were saddened to learn of the passing of longtime volunteer and all-round wonderful person, Denis MacAree. Denis volunteered with the festival for many years, as a key member of our pouring team. He was a team leader who always put in extra long hours while maintaining a great sense of humour. The festival, and the world, will shine a little less brightly without him.
