It’s time again for a night of frights and fine dining, as the Owensboro Convention Center is hosting the eighth annual “Happy HalloWine” Cork & Cuisine event at 6 p.m. on October 25. In addition to a four-course meal with wines and spirits, there will also be a costume contest, prizes, and more for guests to enjoy.
