One of our visitors sent me the following info on a fairly new festival in beautiful Mariposa County. Mariposa is located in Central California in the heart of gold rush country and is perfect for a weekend getaway. The weather should be fabulous in late September. Be sure to visit the venue's website for more information.
Details:
On Saturday September 20th, 2008, the John C. Fremont Hospital Foundation in Mariposa, California will present its
Second Annual �BLAZIN� HOG� BBQ Competition and Zydeco Music Festival,
to be held at the Mariposa County Fairgrounds.
Once again, the stage will be alive with Zydeco dance music from valley and bay area recording artists. BBQ contestants will be competing for cash prizes, evaluated by a panel of judges, and the tasting public.
Arts and crafts vendors will be displaying many of their unique, one-of-a-kind items for sale; and children�s� activities are also planned. A delicious day of sun, fun and music for all!
Admission is only $10, with a discounted price of $7.50 for senior groups.
Proceeds and donations will benefit the JCF Hospital foundation, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, dedicated to advancing the health care of our community by providing financial support to the hospital, the only hospital in this medically underserved area of Mariposa County.
