Kings Mountain Art Fair - Labor Day Weekend

For those of you who aren't in Black Rock City this weekend, here's an alternate way to get your art fix. It's a little less Tribal Vegas and a little more Fine Art in the Redwoods. There are some hand-carved rocking chairs that are expensive, but worth a visit to the fair just for the chance to sit in one.

Don't know Kings Mountain? You've probably been here without even realizing it - hiking, mtn biking, etc. It's the area along Skyline Blvd. just south of 92 (the road that goes to Half Moon Bay). It's a gorgeous spot of redwoods and ocean/Bay views.

This is our community fundraiser. Not being part of a town, we don't get tax revenue, but we have to fund our own fire department that is the first responder to forest fires and scraping motorcyclists off the pavement. It also helps supplement funding for our 3-room elementary school, which the state has repeatedly tried to shut down despite high test scores. Small schools don't make cents.

Details:
