Dianne Bileck, Whitney Rose, Joanie Cooper and Lea Ann Golden of the Glenpool Chamber of Commerce invite you to the first annual South County Wine & Art Festival.

The first-ever South County Wine & Art Festival, hosted by the Glenpool Chamber of Commerce, will take place Saturday, May 14 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the beautiful new Glenpool Conference Center, located at 12205 S. Yukon Ave.

“This is a great opportunity to sample some of Oklahoma’s finest wine and admire works created by some of Oklahoma’s best artists. It will be a casual yet classy event the whole family can enjoy,” says Dianne Bileck, executive director of the Glenpool Chamber of Commerce. “This is the first event of its kind at the new Conference Center, and we are excited to see how it plays out. We hope to make it an annual event.”

Admission to the festival is free, and the cost of the wine tasting is $10 per person. This small fee allows you to taste wines from several Oklahoma wineries. The first 75 people will receive a commemorative wine glass. Whether you love the dryness of a rich cabernet sauvignon, prefer a crisp, light chardonnay, or enjoy a sweet blush, you’ll find it all at the festival. With weather permitting, the vintners will be set up across the lawn of the Glenpool Conference Center.

Meanwhile inside, artists will be set up with booths displaying and selling their works. “The art will include several mediums – oil paintings, pottery, jewelry and more. It is not a crafts show, but focuses more on reputable art. We contacted the Oklahoma Arts Council to find some incredible professional artists for this event,” says Dianne.

The South County Wine & Art Festival will be a fun day featuring wineries from all over the state and talented artists. You’ll also enjoy the sounds of beautiful jazz music while wandering around the grounds of the new Conference Center. With the support of the community, this event can return for years to come.

In addition to the wine and art festival, the Glenpool Chamber of Commerce has a lot of other activities going on right now. They recently held their 10th annual golf tournament in April, and they are busy preparing for Black Gold Days, scheduled for June 17-18. “Also in the works are a Glenpool leadership program, a business expo, and community-wide fundraisers to raise money for Christmas lights to decorate the new street lights on Main Street,” adds Dianne.
