It's where the 4H, FFA and Grange youth organizations all get together to compete both individually and at the club level on all manner of skills and crafts related to farm life, including animal husbandry, crafts, foods and industrial arts. It also gives exposure to the urban folks of what country life, especially for youth, has for its core values. The annual pie auction and accompanying BBQ, held mid-July (2013: 13 July) is a great way to support the organizations and their scholarship funds as well as get some incredible, at times exotic and always delicious homemade desserts. The BBQ held immediately before the auction is an old fashioned pit style BBQ that cooks in the ground for almost 24 hours. It's just $7 for adults featuring beef, pork, turkey, fresh picked sweet corn, homemade beans and salad - you won't find finer BBQ fare anywhere at any price, really! The 2013 fair is July 27 through August 4. It has traditional midway rides, food vendors, folks selling all manner of goods and the livestock and crafts/arts judging. The fair culminates in the annual livestock auction, held on the last Saturday during the fair. It is another opportunity to support youth college scholarship as well as to obtain the very best organic veal, beef, pork, lamb, goat, chicken and turkey that money can buy. Sooooo tasty and all for a good cause.

First, shout out to Gil. He helped us rebook our tour since my mom was sick the original date we…read morechose. He was so helpful! My family had Such a fantastic day enjoying the Oasis Camel Dairy farm. From the back story of how the couple met, to feeding animals to education everything was entertaining and fun. We didn't have little kids with us, but still enjoyed this so much. Our 2hr noon hour tour had about 70ppl on it. We never felt like it was too many in any one place. The owners were so good about answering questions and were very funny! I'd highly recommend this to families who have kids and want to see and visit camels up close. Plan to take a picnic lunch, and plenty of water. The camels were awesome, they definitely wanted our apple treats so, it's worth buying extra.

THE MINDFUL MOVEMENT…read more Run. Yoga. Meditate. Held at Liberty Park NTC Station. The energy at this event was very positive and uplifting. It started at 7:30am but the actual event starts at 8:45. Good to come early to set up your yoga may infront of the main stage. Vendors and booths surrounded the main stage. My friend forgot her yoga mat and was able to buy one at the Adidas tent. A lot of healthy food and drinks sold through the day. No need to buy the picnic lunch when registering, you can pay there or walk to Liberty market to eat. Imagine over a thousand yogies (predominately females) and active people coming together to share this space and energy under the sun. - morning stretch lead by Mac Yogi - 5k around liberty station NTC park with Niki Klasnic - dj spinning awesome tunes by Dj Drez - yoga by Mary Beth LaRue (main stage) - meditation by Noah Levine (main stage) I had a lot of fun! I set up my scheduled activities when I first registered. The smaller activities br als off after the main stage meditation. Fun day of workout activity, yoga, dance, yoga, mediate. It was like a Coachella for yogies. And I'm not a yoga person and that is okay, they do a very chill yoga routine. The energy had me on a mindful movement. Until next year...

Good family-friendly and dog-friendly event. Grand Avenue is blocked off. There is free street…read moreparking all along the outside of the streets. There were tons of vendors under tents and storefront businesses to check out. As we walked down the street there were different entertainers. Different businesses were handing out free items for the kids such as ballons, dental items, and trinkets. My kids had fun playing with the Robotic team's creations. We admired the artist's work at the "Art Garden." There were several vendors selling dog items. My biggest find of the day is Dolce Monachelli's. It's a family-owned business that makes bunt cakes. They were handing out samples of their most popular bunt cake the Italian Butter Rum. My kids all loved the sample so I decided to get the Sampler Box and the regular-sized unicorn bundt cake. The man helping me was so friendly and informative. They currently don't have a brick and motor store. They sell at Farmer's Markets, special events, and offer pick up. Overall, we enjoyed the event and plan to come back again.

Sunday 5-22-2022 I…read morecame to the Escondido Street Fair today on Grand Avenue and it was pretty cool! A minimum of 40 booths, probably more, live music, food, drinks, vendors selling hand-made items as well as other things, and just an overall cool experience. Constructive criticism: I do wish they had more seating all throughout the event instead of just seating on one end of it, right in front of the live music that is blasting super loudly. I also wish they had more porta-potties throughout the entire event. Animals: pets are allowed here but there are tons of dogs and people, no dog food/water bowls, not much shade, hot pavement on their paws, and loud live music, so maybe not the best place for pets. Booths: they have almost everything! Toys for kids, clothes and hats for your dogs and cats, handmade soaps, a booth to register to vote, clothes for humans, Mexican food, popcorn, jewelry, bakery food, dentistry booths, veterinarian booths, people selling their hand-blown or painted glass art, and more! Very cool experience, and it's all right on Grand so all the normal shops here are open and ready for business! I absolutely love that they chose to have this on Grand Avenue. I try to come every year.

I tried some of the best tamales I've ever had here. They were so fluffy and flavorful. There were a lot of other trucks that had desserts and other foods as well, so there was something for everyone. There were several vendors with booths set up selling various items. One booth had some of the freshest flowers I've seen at a great price! I bought a very nice bouquet of sunflowers for a friend of mine. They had a stage with various entertainment such as dancers. There was also a beer garden, but you could barely call it that it was so small. I went early so want drinking so I didn't care. Overall we enjoyed it and will attend next year.

She was really flexible with my changing head count and just shared the minimum cost which was around $330. She had me choose what design I wanted to paint in advance too, which was easy! Review - I planned this for my birthday and I had such a fun time. Davina really walks you through the steps in an easy to understand way and shows you how to do each step on her own canvas. It was totally fun and doable for my friends who are not generally crafting people! The studio has great decorations and ambiance, Davina gave us glasses, glow in the dark hair clip, and a hat to take home with us. The final painting is so pretty and glows in the dark. Super recommend, especially for kids, families, friends. COVID - we didn't wear masks but you could wear masks. Davina shared she is vaxxed and boosted.
