ALBION – Saturday will be a big day in downtown Albion with several hundred people expected for the annual Sip N’ Stroll.

There will be 16 stops for people to sample wine, mead and beer. The Sip N’ Stroll starts at 4 p.m. at Dubby’s Tailgate. It is organized by the Albion Merchants Association and is the group’s biggest fundraiser of the year.

The AMA wants to build on last year’s event which sold 362 tickets.

“We’re hoping for 400,” said Natasha Wasuck, the AMA president.

There will be six musical performers at the event, and they are funded through a grant administered by GO Art!

Tickets at the door are $30, and are $28.52 online. Click here to purchase a ticket online.

Participants can travel by pedal bar or shuttle bus if they prefer not to walk. Wasuck noted the weather will be in the 60s.
