Mark your calendars for an event for Sunday, April 29, 2001.  For those of you who cannot attend the Death Valley Daze event, we are offering this as an alternative.  Please join us if you can.

It is time for the annual Asparagus Festival in Stockton.  I have to admit that I do not like green things (unless it is money shaped) but I do like having a good time.  And this should be lots of fun!  Asparagus margaritas anyone??   In addition to asparagus, there is a craft show (now that caught my fancy).

So let's all meet at PeeWee's in Brentwood at 9 a.m. on the 29th and convoy to West 8 Mile Road in Stockton (which is an exit off of Highway 5 and right before the park) where we can meet up with everyone coming from that direction (about 10:30 a.m.).  We will pick up the Byron, Discovery Bay and Tracy folks along our drive from Brentwood (unless you want to join us at PeeWee's) - let's meet at Geno's Country Store parking lot at the junction of Byron Highway and Highway 4 (about 9:15 a.m.).
Entrance to the festival is $8.00 per person, $5.00 for seniors and parking is $3.00.  If it is anything like the Garlic Festival in Gilroy, this will be a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Please RSVP to Bob and Betty Retzer at 925-634-8765 or email at bob@miatadriver.com and let us know that you will be going with us and where we should expect to meet you.
