Get Ready to Fuel Up!—An Unexpected Collision of Wine, Speed & Sophistication

If you’re looking for a nice, relaxing day of wine tasting, this isn’t it. But if you’ve ever wondered what happens when 200 MPH horsepower meets first-class craftsmanship, then buckle up.

Apricus Cellars is taking over District Wine Village for a full-throttle experience—bringing together the worlds of drag racing and winemaking in a way never seen before.

Leading the charge? Chevy Reeves (aka ‘Helluvachevy’) and Crew alongside his 200 MPH, pavement-shredding 1970 Chevelle YETI—the beast that turns heads with untamed energy.

To mark this unprecedented fusion of power, precision, and pure craft, we’re launching the Limited Edition 2018 Zephyr Red Blend—a wine that embodies the thrill of the race, wrapped in the sleek copper ‘Bad Ass’ YETI design.

And here’s where you come in:🔥 Grab your bottles—each one supports the Torqued & Twisted Youth Empowerment Initiative, fueling the next generation of visionaries and risk-takers. (click here to buy the wine in advance)🔥 Witness racing meets refinement—because who says a 200 MPH launch can’t pair perfectly with a world-class pour?🔥 Experience the impact of speed & sophistication—because playing it safe has never been our style.

This isn’t just an event—it’s a statement. A reminder that passion, precision, and a little bit of madness make the best things in life worth chasing.

🔥 Apricus Cellars is giving away 6 VIP Passes for an exclusive experience at the Smoke, Fire & Thunder Race at Mission Raceway for Friday, August 22/25! 🔹 Get your shot at VIP access—because pit side action is the only way to watch

Are you ready to raise a glass and light up the asphalt?

Join us for 2 weeks of artistic adventures and hands-on creations! Where imagination leads the way and every day is a masterpiece! Bring your imagination and have fun!

By Times Chronicle Staff

Registration is now open for a new, free Creative Arts & Crafts Program for children aged 5 to 13, kicking off July 28, at the Quail’s Nest Arts Centre in Oliver.

Organized by the Oliver Community Arts Council, spaces are limited and filling up fast with the Council encouraging families to register early at OliverArtsCouncil.org to reserve their child’s spot in this one-of-a-kind summer experience.

This dynamic program will offer a wide variety of hands-on, imaginative classes designed to inspire, motivate, and spark creativity in young artists. Kids can look forward to making funky houses, vibrant mosaics, learning how to crochet, and exploring many more exciting art forms.

Best of all, participants will bring home a completed project every single day – a proud showcase of their creativity and effort.

Led by a team of enthusiastic and talented volunteer facilitators, the program not only fosters artistic skills but also encourages teamwork, self-expression, and community engagement.

“We’re thrilled to offer this program free of charge to local families,” said a spokesperson for the Oliver Community Arts Council.

“It’s all about giving children the chance to explore the arts in a fun, supportive environment while building something they can be proud of.

“Let’s make art, make memories, and make a difference – join the fun and become a part of something truly special for our community!”

The Arts Council highlighted that the initiative would not be possible without the generous support of our volunteers and partners. “A heartfelt thank you to Kiwanis Club of Oliver for their generous donation, which has been instrumental in bringing this program to life for the children of our community,” it added.

Register at OliverArtsCouncil.org or email OliverCAC@gmail.com for more information.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We’re so excited for another creative summer, and we hope to see you there!

CALL TO ACTION IN OUR COMMUNITY – looking for volunteers, supports, instructors and interested students.
