On Thursday, Sept. 22, Brock will hold its fifth annual Fine Food, Fine Wine, Fine Arts! event from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Pond Inlet on campus. Celebrating five years of dining excellence and tradition, participants will meet the artists who create the wine and food, as well as the artists who create the music and performance.
