I’ve been penciling in all the local festivals going on this summer into my planning calendar. Along the way, I found the California Festivals web site, which lists a bunch of ’em all over the state. The dates haven’t been updated for 2000, but many of the listings include links to active web sites. The cutest one I found was the LambTown Festival held in Dixon every July. They have “sheep dog trials, spinners and weavers, a mutton busting contest, (where kids actually get to ride the sheep), and a shearing competition.” And, of course, a lamb cook-off (I think the people cook, not the lambs).
