On Saturday, October 3rd, I was fortunate enough to be invited to help Charles Men’s Shop work the annual Batavia Wine Walk. It was a marvelous event, and I could not believe the turn out!

For those of you who may not know, Charles Men’s Shop, family owned and operated since 1947, is Batavia’s number one choice for fine men’s clothing. Located at 200 E Main St., Charles Men’s Shop is your store when you are searching for personal and professional service, and the finest in menswear brands. In addition, they have long been known for their expertise in big and tall and hard to fit gentlemen.

I was not able to leave my post, but my family was kind enough to provide me with some pictures of all the hustle and bustle.

Just look at this huge line waiting to get in Charles Men’s Shop! It was amazing! Maggie (my co-greeter) and myself had all we could do to keep up with everyone!

  And a very sly picture taken of me through the store window. 

Even this Batavia Downs Gaming promotional vehicle was spotted on the scene.

Local staff at Oakfield-Alabama Central School thoroughly enjoying the event.

Nearly 700 tickets were sold for the Wine Walk this year, and the turnout was incredible despite the rain! Perhaps the weather just added to the cozy Fall atmosphere. Thank you very much for having me Charles Men’s Shop, and thanks for arranging the whole fantastic opportunity Mrs. Ehrhart! I would be overjoyed to help out next year, and in any way I can until then.
