The Panther Club and Sarah Bush Lincoln Volunteer Guild proudly collaborated to host the inaugural Women's Wine Tour through the heart of the beautiful Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois on Friday, July 16. 

The event was led by committee members Colleen Stoner, Gloria Leitschuh, Marsha Figgins, and Jan Eads.  All proceeds were in support of the Eastern Illinois University Panther Club and the Sarah Bush Lincoln Volunteer Guild.

Four unique, family-owned and operated wineries located amongst rolling hills and sandstone bluffs of the Shawnee Wine Trail were visited including Blue Sky Vineyard, StarView Vineyard, Owl Creek Vineyard, and Rustle Hill Winery.
