On Saturday, July 27, Toast of Jackson, a fine wine and art festival and celebration of local and regional wineries, was held at the Jackson Fairgrounds. The event raises funds for the Exchange Club of Jackson and the Exchange Club-Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse.

Event attendees visited participating booths, viewed and purchased art, and sipped on a wide variety of fine wines from various local and regional wineries.

Toast of Jackson brought together members of a growing Tennessee industry, which has won several awards across the country. For more information about Toast of Jackson and/or next year’s event, please visit www.toastofjackson.com.
