Tehama County Supe- rior Court Presiding Judge Todd Bottke welcomed at- tendees to the event before introducing Channel 12/24 news anchor Linda Wat- kins-Bennett, who served as the evening's emcee. "I'm honored to be asked back and to have the chance to shine the spot- light on those who are so deserving for being so dedicated to serving their community," Watkins-Ben- nett said. "Working with law-enforcement and fire I know it's a tough job and last year was the toughest yet. There was civil unrest and it was volatile." The fact that there is even a need for Police Lives Matter as a slogan, or for any slogan about a life mattering, is a sad state- ment on today's society, Watkins-Bennett said.

"It's a beautiful day and we're very thankful for that," said Corning Rotary President Valanne Carde- nas. "We're hoping for between 1,200 and 1,500 people, but it's already a great turnout. The event made $14,000 last year so we're hoping for $15,000 this year. It all goes to our scholarships, of which we give out 13." The event had 17 win- eries available and seven teams competed in the Clam Chowder Cook-off during the afternoon. There were several re- turning groups, both art- ists and vendors, partic- ipating as well as new those like Barrels & Be- yond, owned by Bill and Mary Springhorn of Red- ding, that sold wine re- lated items made from bar- rels and corks. "We've never been be- fore, but people just keep coming in and we're ex- cited to see how we do," Bill Springhorn said. "I en- joy working with wood and the french oak has primo wood." While Bill Springhorn crafts the furniture which includes chairs, barstools, tables and even a sink with an artistic basin set inside, which are made of a wine barrel and his wife Mary does a lot of the crafty knick knacks made of corks, he said. He got started working on the wine barrel items about six years ago after he and his wife retired from being high school teachers.
