Grove Fest Fashion Corner Drink Sponsor Spotlight: 85 Lashes


At the corner of Lemp & Cherokee, just through the historic wrought iron gate, lies the birthplace of our very own hometown spirit, 85 Lashes Dark Rum.

Jake Jones distills our rum in old fashioned copper pot stills before it begins it’s aging process in french oak. Once aged to perfection and bottled, each bottle is capped and wrapped with leather string.

Then hand dipped, one bottle at a time, in a special blend of stark red wax.
The hot wax must then be cooled in an ice bath to create a shiny appearance.

What makes our distiller so happy…
A Silver Metal at the 2011 San Franscisco World Spirits Competition!
Drink our award winning rum, 85 Lashes!

GFFC Accessory Designer Spotlight: Vauje Vixen


Mary Collins the designer and creator of Vauje started off making jewels to compliment retro and vintage attire. She reached her rockabilly goal when her jewels adorned the neck of Bernie Dexter a high profile retro model. After some time passed, Mary Collins started to tap into her creative side by making more artistic pieces. Now every idea and skill that has been picked up throughout her creative journey will be poured into fashion and couture pieces.

Vauje evokes the glamorous side that is sometimes hidden by the everyday cares of life. With Vauje adored on your neck and wrist, you can feel confident in knowing you have a good quality statement piece and you will receive compliments over and over again.
