This year they had a wonderful car show, plant sell, clothing and jewelry vendors, kid fun area, food trucks and also the wonderful restaurant, shops and bars in Fair Oaks Village.

My mom has a picture of me from 1971 or so marching as a cub-scout in the parade. Back then it was your standard local parade and carnival ride affair - but in the past couple decades it has morphed into a combined 5 mile/5k Sun Run, kiddie carnival, food fair, toilet bowl race, street car show, things like celebrity look-a-like contests and bicycle air-shows, and a frog jumping contest. The toilet bowl race is hysterical and pretty out-of-control. You can bring your own frog or use one of their's in the frog jumping contest. The kiddie rides have a nice selection of home-spun and carnival type stuff - pretty good bang for the buck. The footrace is large and well organized - with plenty of swag for the runners. There is something for everyone in this family-oriented local festival. Check the Fair Oaks Chamber of Commerce Calendar when next May rolls around.

I mean, this event put together by Macy's and Yelp was meant for family time. Alas, since I didn't feel like borrowing anyone's offspring, and drive-in movies aren't my gig, I'll be honest and say I drove all the way out to 50 & Bradshaw from Natomas to claim my Yelp Elite "Macy's Great American Drive In" goodie bag. So, I got there at about 6pm (gates didn't open until 6:30pm), and I was third in line. Gates opened promptly on time, and my Yelp Elite ticket got me my goodie bag. My haul included what's pictured in the avatar for this event: Macy's Great American Drive In canvas bag, frisbee, light-up yo-yo, and light-up ring, along with a Macy's savings pass, a bag of Cracker Jacks, and a cool Macy's blanket. And, gosh, can't forget the $10 Macy's gift card! Quite the haul, and totally worth the drive from Natomas :) I did park for a bit, and noticed a nice bouncy-house thing being utilized by multiple kiddies. Also saw that a few food trucks were there: Smoothie Patrol, OMG Burger, and OM Karmabile. If I wasn't already stuffed from eating at Krush Burger earlier, I would have partaken in one of those offerings, but it was nice that they were there. All in all, this event was nicely done. Though I didn't stick around, I'm sure those that made it a family night out made the most of it. :)

We tried five different places that she chose based on the group's preferences. We had a cocktail, a coffee drink, a dessert, and a few different dishes from midtown restaurants. I never felt full (the F word!) but I was happily satisfied at the end. I had never eaten at any of these places so now I know more great places to try. Dawnie has an amazing depth of knowledge about the area, the food scene, and the history of our Farm to Fork capital. She loves the city and it shows in how she highlights it in her tour. The biggest surprise for me was the street art. I had never noticed these murals nor did I realize we had a history of street art and unique festivals. I will definitely be checking those out more in the future! I hope to do more of their tours and explore other parts of the city in the future!

We perused the event around 11:30 am for an hour. There isn't much "Dickens" at the event except for the Rio Consumnes Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution - who dressed in period clothing. This Dickens Street Faire is a bit of a misnomer - especially compared to The Great Dickens Christmas Fair & Victorian Holiday Party at Cow Palace in San Francisco. City of Elk Grove has been holding weekly events at the Old Town Plaza on Sundays. While the effort is palpable, Old Town Elk Grove parking leaves much to be desired and there aren't enough tables/chairs/shaded areas to make the events worth attending and staying for more than 30 minutes or so. I try to support local community businesses though and hope that the city can find more ways to make the events continue to happen.

The doggy treats are in a labeled jar on the counter and there are a couple of pup watering stations that I also noticed, one outside and one inside the tasting room. Inside the tasting room are a couple of enormous flat screens with NFL games turned low with subtitles on, which is nice so you can chit chat with friends w/o yelling. The vibe is chill and I'll definitely return in the future.
