In response to recent public health advisories, the Youngstown Area Grocers Association has rescheduled its 15th annual Beer and Wine Tasting. The annual fundraiser has been rescheduled to 6-9 p.m., Saturday, May 29 at Stambaugh Auditorium in Youngstown.

Tickets and sponsorships will be honored. Organizers are currently adjusting details with vendors and suppliers to ensure that nothing will effect the nature of the event.

In a prepared statement, representatives explained: “As recommendations continue to be made by state officials, as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and with a primary concern for the health and well-being of the Youngstown community, the Grocers Association’s 15th Annual Beer & Wine Tasting … will be rescheduled. We believe postponing this event until a later date (beyond the 30 days recommended for outbreak control) will provide enough precaution to allow a safer venue and overall experience.”
