Late Saturday evenings in Nelson generally mean Starry Nights over at Veritas Winery and Vineyard. The event is held one Saturday a month throughout the warm months. This past weekend The Abbey Road Band played to over a thousand people at Starry Nights. Thanks to Kim Chappell over at www.experiencenelsoncounty.com for sharing a couple of her photos with us!

Parents and kids danced into the night at this past weekend’s Starry Nights at Veritas Vineyard and Winery. The Abbey Road Band played hits of The Beatles. Last month rains and thunderstorms dampened the first Starry Nights of the season, but not this one! Approximately 1500 to 2000 people packed the lawn outside Veritas to enjoy the annual event that runs into late summer.

Veritas Vineyard & Winery’s start to the 2009 Starry Nights was a bit of a soggy one for the first part of the evening, but folks took it in stride and took it inside until the showers passed. After roughly 30 minutes the rains ended leaving a wonderful evening of wine and music by King Cadillac.


Huge thunderstorms moved out of the Afton area around dark, just in time for the music to kick off at this year's Starry Nights.
