Sip a little of your favorite wine while painting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wine & Canvas is a relatively new thing which is growing in popularity and could be coming to the MERIT Center in Decatur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councilwoman Abby Wilder told city council at its latest meeting that Patti Hogg, events coordinator at the Dayton Ave. multi-use center, has a number of different classes there and was wondering if a Wine & Canvas class could be added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At question, of course, is the use of alcohol, and whether city council would approve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilder said such a class might be a way to bring some people together, \u201cmaybe a way to get some people in there (city-owned MERIT Center) who have not been there before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councilman Scott Murray he would like to see some guidelines established before a decision is made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we can work out some guidelines, I’d be for it,\u201d Councilman Matt Dyer added.
The MERIT Center board expressed no opposition to the Wine & Canvas idea, it was noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HAD REQUESTS: Hogg told WZBD.com that she has had some requests to begin such a class at the MERIT Center (former Northwest School).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MERIT coordinator noted that she wanted to determine if council would approve before going any further with the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wine & Canvas classes \u2013 known as Paint & Sip in some places \u2013 can be found in many areas of the United States, including Fort Wayne and Indianapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hogg said she has other classes scheduled for the next three months, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
