The annual St. Mary's Country Fair, a popular Los Gatos event, is back for another fun weekend Oct 10th, 11th, and 12th! Located in downtown Los Gatos, on the edge of the Almond Grove District, the Country Fair appeals to people of all ages.

Here's a view from last year on Sunday morning:



What is the St. Mary's Country Fair all about? It's a fundraiser for the work of the parish and the school that draws the entire community. There are carnival rides, live music and dancing, arts & crafts, great food, activities for kids, and loads of fun for about 48 hours. There is NO ADMISSION CHARGE so drop by and see what looks good! The food is very reasonably priced and very tasty!

A few highlights for this year's fun Los Gatos carnival:

Friday Night - Live Music  & Dancing - The Joe Sharino Band (no charge!)

Saturday 1pm - 3:30pm Talent Show

Saturday Night - Live Music - The Cheeseballs (7pm - 10pm and no entry fee or charge!)

Sunday 8:30am - 11am - Lions Club Pancake Breakfast

Sunday events usually include a petting zoo and a pony ride for the little tykes

Sunday 5pm - Car or Cash Raffle - only 550 ($100) tickets sold for a MB Cabriolet Smart Car or $18,000 cash

Extra tips:

Like a bargain? Visit the parish or school office prior to October 10, 2008 at 2pm and buy your Butler ride tickets at a substantial discount - and avoid the lines!

Much of the Almond Grove District of Los Gatos has permit parking only in the evenings. So don't park in the neighborhood! There are lots of public parking spaces between North Santa Cruz and University Avenues in Los Gatos, and they are no cost, so park there instead!
