Summer weekend fun in Santa Cruz County
Yesterday morning we spent some time at the Antiques Street Faire in Moss Landing. There was a good crowd, in spite of the heavy marine layer and misty conditions. In addition to the outside booths, several of the antique stores opened early to let folks in for a browse. We saw everything from furniture to garden sculptures to old kitchen implements and vintage postcards. We didn't make it to the Gilroy Garlic Festival, which was also held this past weekend and where band Sha-Boom performed its farewell concert. One of these years we'll make it to that event, but I have to admit that I deal with a blanket of fog and a cool mist better than I can bear the heat and intense sun that come to Gilroy on most summer days.
Runners had a great weekend with the annual Wharf to Wharf Race. And next weekend the Monterey Bay Strawberry Festival returns to Ramsey Park, with a brand new festival coordinator and lots of familiar Watsonville strawberries.
