Versailles 3rd Annual FareFest

Hey Everyone!

If you haven't heard, FareFest is barely more than a week away! This is our last big event before the end of the Summer, and we need you to be there to make it completely unforgettable! 

On August 27th, 2011 from 2 p.m-5 p.m, on Fountain Square on Maine Street in Versailles, Ohio, we will celebrate the 3rd annual food, beer, and wine festival that we hope to continue for years to come. Profits from FareFest provide scholarship money for future Versailles Alumni, provide backing for the Darke County Visitors Bureau, and is a great way to support our local restaurants and vendors, as well as a great opportunity to sample some of the little delights that can be found in the area! This years' festival is going to be bigger and more exciting than ever! Along with all of the food, beer and wine you care to enjoy, we will also be featuring spirits as well as live entertainment. The price per ticket is $40 pre-ordered, $45 at the door, and $20 for a food only ticket (we highly encourage designated drivers, we want everyone to have fun AND be safe!) The ticket gets you a commemorative wine glass that is yours to keep, and all that you can eat and drink until the time and/or products run out! Continue on to the next section for specifics.

To include every single food vendor, wine and beer that will be available at the festival would be require the publishing of a novel, and it would be much more information than you would care to read, but here are the highlights!

The Fun Doesn't End at 5!

Just because the festival ends early in the evening doesn't mean that the fun has to end too! You are invited to come inside the Inn afterward if you haven't gotten your fill! This would be a great opportunity to check out the new bar if you haven't seen it yet, and a great last chance to sample some of our lighter-portioned Summer seasonal menu items before Fall! If you are interested, please call to make reservations as soon as possible, available seating in the dining room is filling up very quickly, and the time to save yourself a seat is running out.
We really hope to see you all there! Please call (937) 526-3020 to order tickets and/or make a reservation. Also, I would like to offer my greatest thanks for all of you that attended the pizza and beer dinner at the beginning of the month! For those of you who weren't able to make it, I really hope to see you next time, everyone had a great evening and we will definitely be doing similar events in the future!
