- Stop in at our Newberry Commons Mall location to see an
exhibition of spectacular Photography by Meredith Kaminek. From her studio
in Central Pennsylvania to a creek in the woods, Meredith Kaminek has
cultivated her career as a professional portrait photographer since 1992.
Connecting with people to photograph more than what they look like, but who
they are, has always been the true passion parallel to her artistic eye.
Feeling a similar connection with nature, Meredith has branched
out to share her perspective of how everyday life and our natural surroundings
are genuine gifts...
...so long as you take the time to look at it that way.
"...as I found it" is Meredith Kaminek's recently published hard cover book,
which is a collection of her photographs of nature untouched, coupled with
simple thoughts and inspirations that she has written. It is available at
our Newberry Commons Mall Tasting Room. Stop in and
support Local Art.

Hummingbird Ridge Winery is “the
Small Winery with Big Flavor”. Owner Tom Day began his wine odyssey as a
teenager, watching his Italian grandfather make wine. When Tom started winning
amateur awards for his own wines, he decided to open his own winery. With over
20 years of experience, he opened this microwinery dedicated to making wine in
small batches, so that every aspect of the winemaking process could be
meticulously taken care of, to craft wines with superior flavor and balance.
Tom named the winery after one particular hummingbird that followed him as he
first walked the property and that hummingbird’s likeness graces every bottle
of Hummingbird Ridge wine. We hope you enjoy your experience at Hummingbird
Ridge and please call on any of our staff to assist you. “Experience the
Exceptional Flavor and Balance” of Hummingbird Ridge wines!
