Events / Festivals - July
It's July.. which means it's time
for the Marin County Fair.. Our favorite... and the Fourth Of July!
It's summertime in Northern California.. so
the Marin County Fair and Gilroy Garlic Festival are in full swing!
The Marin COunty Fair is our hands down favorite... great exhibits
(we saw the Star Wars Props there one year), exciting fireworks,
interesting artwork, and a light and bright midway!
We have some delightful 4th Of July Parades... my favorites are Alameda and Piedmont's.
The best fireworks? I'd give that to the Marin County Fair and Berkeley's festival at the Marina.

Sedge Thomson always has a reading of the Declaration of Independence on West Coast Live around the 4th of July
"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
Wow - what it must have felt to have signed this document.
