Crowd get a dose of fair festivities

Attendees at the Redwood Mountain Faire had a great time this year with the beer being sold out at the end of each day. there was lots of miscues and contest winners in the fiddle, dulcimer, guitar and banjo competitions. Chicken wings were served by St. Andrew’s to raise money for their disaster fund and the Ben Lomond Firefighters had an auction that raised money for their Jaws of Life. There were lots of games, pony rides, mimes and fun for the kids. The banana slug races had a winner but not before 15 of the slugs were “kidnapped” before the races.
