Barefoot Wines...they came into Newport under alias like "The TOEminator", "TheGodFooter" and "VicTOErious", they poured wine, educated and entertained, they blew it up big at the Newport Seafood and Wine Festival this past weekend and pulled off the biggest ever fundraiser for the Newport Chapter of Surfrider Foundation raising over $6,000 for the chapter's programs. The funding will help support the chapter's blue water task force program engaging youth volunteers and local citizens in water quality monitoring of the local beaches, the adopt-a-park program at South Beach State Park, local restoration and beach cleanup events and a kids surf contest. An enthusiastic and terrific staff from Barefoot teamed up with the local volunteers to pull off a great booth that was overwhelmingly popular with the festival goers! Barefoot Wines is a big supporter of our local beaches across the country and partners on some amazing Beach Rescue Projects. (check them out!)
