~@~~Come Early, Stay Late~~@~

Saturday July 18, 2009 is gonna be big!!! Weed, Ca having their annual Carnevale full of live music, rides, games, food, and fun, children running to and fro, with sticky candy and all their friends!! The Butler Carnival company comes this time every year and does a fantastic job of transforming the Weed Bel-Air park on College Ave. into a wonderland of color and excitement. A personal favorite of mine is watching my 4 yr old boy jump up and down excited to get on the swing that goes around and around and around.......

There is an awesome line up of Live Music through out Carnevale, the line up will be coming out soon in the paper.

All day Saturday the River Run Art Gallery, and the Turn of the Centuries Fine Art Gallery will be open for public viewings and will be hosting artists receptions, I love experiencing the art of Weed.

After all the kids are worn out and tired and ready to drift off into thoughts of sugar plums and bright lights, it's time for us grown ups to have a little fun.

At 9pm PaPa's Place will be filling up with folks from all over the state, (over 21 yrs old only!) to see ET and the Night Shift, a blues and rock band, be ready to dance! Papa's place is serving food late into the night, homemade chili, homemade Italian Sausage, hot wings, Hot Dogs, Chili Dogs, nachos.......
You can even order, one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer~ LOL

The Mt. Shasta Brewing Company located right next door to the Carnival will have a reggae band in their tasting room for evening entertainment. They are serving all kinds of food from their new menu, spinach artichoke dip (mmmmmmm thanks Wendy), wraps, Weed Bakery Bread, sandwiches, hot dogs and brats soaked in beer, chips and salsa! My favorite thing about the brewery is the $1 beers...yummmmm Weed Ale Porter!
