Jade Festival Count-down!

Only 3 days until the 18th Annual Jade Festival begins, as so many of you already know. Woohoo! Are we getting excited? Last minute details being worked out, the gang is pulling together, as usual, everyone is working hard, and according to the weather report, we should have clear skies all 3 days!! One vendor had to pull out at the last minute, but was immediately filled from the waiting list.

I am going to try something new this year, and see how it goes. I am going to try a few real time posts to my blog throughout the days of the festival. Unfortunately, I cannot upload video, although I would like to. Maybe next year, when I have to pay for my blog anyway. Video capabilities come with the “paid” version. So, I’ll see how this works. I’ll be reporting it sort of like I did the Chalk Fire, but throughout the day. Wish me luck!

  • Beware of "renegade"long-horned sheep @ hollow south of Ragged Point ,if traveling @ night. The escapees(from Heasrt Ranch) would not budge out of the road,and i had to shoo them out @ 3:30 a.m. Sat. morning on my way up to HSBG.Serves me right for navigating Rte 1 ,by moonlight.P.S. Buy lots of raffle tickets, there are great prizes.

  • Thanks for the warning. I have not been out down there after dark since ... probably last winter, and at 3:30 am? Not in decades!! Nice to know.
