Connoisseurs’ Marketplace
The name might be a mouthful, but Menlo Park's July festival is... a mouthful. Besides the 250 plus artists bringing their finest work to display, this festival is known as much for art as for food. Local artisans from all over the Bay Area bring an endless variety of cuisine to downtown Menlo Park. The air in and around Santa Cruz Avenue becomes saturated with rich, sweet and spicy bouquets. On a single, increasingly well-known corner of Santa Cruz Avenue, near Fremont Park, sits the Connoisseur's Corner. Here artisans display hand-crafted delectables such as chutney, honey and balsamic vinegar, all for festival goers to sample and purchase. This festival attracts one of the biggest crowds of any Bay Area festival. Connoisseur's Marketplace is free and features a Kid Zone so the kiddies can entertain themselves while the adults go and indulge in good wine and drink. Full bellies are a priority, but with that achieved, there's plenty of art and live music to enjoy.

Los Altos' reputation is eclipsed by that of the bigger Bay Area cities. That it is Jim Morrison's city of birth is one of its few claims to fame. The city is mostly quaint and quiet. Besides its close proximity to a major fault line, the only event other than an earthquake that is guaranteed to get things in Los Altos moving is the Arts and Wine Festival. Los Altos is an ideal place to host such a festival. The downtown area is easy to navigate and easy on the eye. The main thoroughfares are tree lined and shaded from the hot California sun. The festival takes place in July, one of the hottest months in California, so some solar respite is always a bonus. The event attracts people from all corners of the bay on the 11th and 12th of July. Local wine merchants save their most special elixirs for the festival, live music plays throughout the day, and artists take to the street and sell their pieces and wares. The event packs the streets to the brim, so it's best to get there early

The Masquerade
The masquerade will be run in the same style as last year's, different than prior years. It's won't be as flashy as before, but also not as time-intensive for the folks entering. It doesn't have as much stage time, but it will provide everyone with a better opportunity to see people's wonderful costume creations up close and in all their glory. There's no venue for big, theatrical presentations -- but it's also not as daunting or intimidating for the first-time costumer who typically just likes to wear their outfits while roaming the halls. There are positives and negatives, both ways; we're hoping the focus will still be on what's important, which is giving the amazing Costumers who attend BayCon an opportunity to show off their imagination, innovation, and talent, and to allow the costume enthusiasts to show those costumers who enter just how much their work is enjoyed!This year, anyone interested in presenting for judging at the masquerade Ball will be asked to show up at 6 PM at the Green Room off the Grand Ballrooms, where you will be given your number, have your name and costume title taken down, and meet with the judges if you wish to have your work included in the Workmanship category. During this time, you will also have the opportunity to have professional photos of your costume taken. We will not have specific entry lighting or sound cues this year- there will be appropriate mood music playing during the contest. Read More

San Jose Sikh Gurdwara Sahib |
San Jose, California: In an event highlighting the influence and permanence of the Bay Area’s Indian community, Gov. Jerry Brown and other political leaders joined thousands of colorfully dressed Sikhs who on Sunday celebrated the opening of their greatly expanded temple in the Evergreen hills of San Jose, making it the nation’s largest gurdwara.
The open house marking the $20 million addition to the Sikh Gurdwara-San Jose drew Brown, San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed and other dignitaries including clergy from Christian and other faiths. They joined thousands of Sikhs who had traveled to the packed celebration from all over Northern California.
For several hours during the afternoon, hundreds of Sikh men and women patiently waited in a long line to bow and pray in the vast, newly completed prayer hall before the Guru Granth Sahib, the religious text of Sikhism. Thousands moved on to the eco-friendly vegetarian kitchen, called a langar, where an army of volunteers had cooked spinach-and-mustard-leaf saag, spicy dahl and sweets — enough to feed a crowd estimated to be around 10,000 people.

ARIZONA CACTUS GARDEN, at the Stanford Arboretum
In the mid-1880s, when the Stanfords had plans for a home where the Mausoleum now stands, Mrs. Stanford had landscape architect, Rudolph Ulrich, design a cactus garden, known then as 'the Arizona Garden'. Upon the death of the Stanford's son, however, plans to build the home were abandoned. (See Mausoleum). Half a century later, during World War II, garden maintenance was discontinued, and up to 80 percent of the specimens were lost.

Museum at Forbes Mill, Los Gatos, Ca
He was plagued by financial problems, however, and by the time the mill was producing Santa Rosa Brand flour, eight other mills had sprung up. The competition proved too much for Forbes, and in
1857, the mill and the surrounding 2,000-acre Santa Rosa Ranch--comprising much of the area east of Los Gatos Creek-- were sold off in a bankruptcy auction.
The mill did have a profitable run following its purchase in 1869 when it became the Los Gatos Manufacturing Co. In 1881, an annex was built onto the mill.
Today, the the mill is gone, but the annex is the site of the Forbes Mill Museum, a small, regional history museum operated by the nonprofit Los Gatos Museum Association, which also operates an art and natural history museum in town.
For years, the Museum Association struggled with financial problems. Then, in the summer of 1996, the association board learned that a woman who had lived in Los Gatos as a child had died and left $600,000 to the two small museums.
James Alexander Forbes never did "strike gold" with his mill, but to the longtime volunteers who learned of the windfall during a meeting at the Forbes Mill Museum, it felt quite a bit like striking gold.
The museum promotes the understanding of the regions rich local history including stories from the gold rush, showcase of clothes worn, the legacy of the South Pacific Coast and Southern Pacific Railroads and the interurban trolleys, and the historic James Alexander Forbes Santa Rosa flour mill. Tours are available. There is convenient parking.
