Valley of Heart's Delight

Description

"March 21, 2012. History San Jose's Eight Annual Valley of Heart's Delight event will honor pioneer families who truly contributed to the thriving agricultural roots of the Santa Clara Valley. Long-time community leaders, the Lester families and the Cilker families, will be honored on Saturday, June 30 at an evening event at History Park from 5 to 9 PM.

The families of Bill Cilker, Sr. and Lee Lester will receive recognition on behalf of the generations of their families who have been, and continue to be, dedicated to the well-being and vitality of the Valley.

In keeping with the Valley of Hearts Delight theme of abundant harvests, guests will enjoy a moveable feast, visiting food stations filled with sweet and savory creations expertly prepared by Parsley, Sage Rosemary & Thyme. Guests will also enjoy special tastings and demonstrations of locally-produced wine, beer and food products.

Live musical performances, including Fiddle Road and the Dewayne Oakley Blues Ensemble, will entertain the party throughout the night with music under the stars.

History Park will be bustling with activity during the event, attendees may hop on a wagon drawn by Clydesdales, or choose to ride on a historic trolley; design a fruit crate label and visit the fruit barn. Auction items will be offered exclusively in a silent format at a special Farmers Market with gift packages for all tastes.

This open-one-night-only event has become a tradition. Previous dinners have been held at the now-closed Manny's Cellar, and the former Mirassou Winery. Previous honorees of the Valley of Heart's Delight are Pat Loomis, former Mercury News writer, historian Jack Douglas and pioneer Jerry Rosenthal, Helen and Bill DelBiaggio, Jim Salata, Susan and Phil Hammer, and last year Sharron and Carl Cookson."
