Bodega Bay Fisherman's Festival 2010

Our annual Fisherman's Festival was this weekend and it was a rip-roaring success.  It is a 100% volunteer supported gig.  I helped with a few things this year and was able to see it from start-fo-finish.  The proceeds from this event go to local non-profit organizations within our fire district zone.  I worked on behalf of the Tomales Elementary School PTA and the Bodega Bay Fireworks Committee.

As usual, Grady loved visiting the local non-profits and gathered free literature about mosquitoes, how to prevent fires from the fire department, lots of data from the Marine Mammal Center and a plethora of books from the Sonoma County Free Library.  That was just on Day One!

We danced, ate, drank and were merry.  Friendships were galvanized and I feel so fortunate to live in a place where people come together (almost 500 volunteers total) and selflessly donate their time and energy to this wonderful town that we live in.
