Santa-Cali-Gon Days Festival

"The Festival of Seasons"

 SCG experienced a diverse range of weather conditions.  Friday started the festival off hot, leading into Saturday afternoon when thunderstorms rolled through the festival.  Sunday and Monday were perfect conditions, with cool temperatures in the morning and mid 70's by the afternoon.  By the end of Monday people were wondering....where's the snow?

 

Overall SCG was a great success!  Normally Friday and Saturday are the busiest days of the festival, but the weather conditions turned Sunday and Monday into the leaders this year.   

  

From country legend Marty Stuart to new country Eli Young Band all ages enjoyed the main stage entertainment.  The JSL Bingo Tent was filled with bingo enthusiasts all day!  SCG vendors were happy with Sunday's weather conditions which created lines from one tent to the next.

 

Thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers, vendors and community for supporting this great festival.

 

Continue to read next week when we break down each day of SCG!
