Not only is this one of our most fun and favorite events, it is also a very important one. This event brings in a crowd of people, not just from West Allis and West Milwaukee, but from all over the Metro Milwaukee area. That is why it is very important for all of our members to be there showing support for our Chamber. This year, with the same feel, but a new image, this event is sure to be a hit. For those of you that may be unfamiliar with the event, Forks & Corks is a large scale wine tasting and food sampling of all of our local restaurants.
