Speed Dating, Chateau Morrisette and Floyd

A friend sent the following to me and I thought it was very funny. I hope no one minds me posting it. It looks like I need to hang out in Floyd more often. And no I am not going to go. I thought about it but too short a notice.

"Here’s a fun way to meet new people without the hassle of crowded bars and blaring music. Enjoy a relaxed evening of wine, light hors d’oeuvres and conversation. Try a new concept of dating known as "SPEED DATING". Meet several people at once and choose who you want to contact again. We take care of all the arrangements, all you have to do is show up and have fun!!"

"Speed Dating?" In college we called them keggers. Regardless, guys learn early on that their looks improve considerably, their charm quotient increases dramatically and our I.Q.’s make quantum leaps if alcohol is involved……grain alcohol preferably……in the female if possible. Anyway, Chateau Morrisette has wrapped this age old custom with a thin veneer of respectability and invites the single population of the surrounding environs to join them for an evening fraught with potential. After all the complaints I hear around here about the availability of “good” men in Floyd, I’m funding a few employee scholarships for this shindig. The rest of you have to fork over a whopping $15 for the event. Call the winery at 540-593-2865 for additional info or check out www.thedogs.com.
