Davie Piña & Congressman Mike Thompson at the Rutherford Chili Ball

 

Davie's been at it again, getting some recognition from our member of the U.S. Congress, Mike Thompson (who grew up in St. Helena), for his efforts at restoring the Napa River. These were taken Sunday night, August 8th, at the annual "Chili Ball," which is put on by the Rutherford Dust Society (a group promoting the wines and viticulture of the area). Davie wore two hats at the event: he's on the board of that organization, and also helped put on a demo by the Rutherford fire dept. This generally involves letting little kids squirt water out of the fire hose!
