FYI: For those of you in and around Northern California, this year's San Joaquin County Fair is saluting the pepper industry. The Fair is held at the fairgrounds in Stockton, CA (about 35 minutes South of Sacramento). In addition to rides, games, horse racing and food the Fair will have pepper-themed exhibits, a pepper garden and some pepper-related cooking contests. The Fair goes from June13 to June 24. Check out http://www.sanjoaquinfair.com if you need more info. The music lineup looks pretty good, especially because there is no extra charge for the concerts.
