My good friend Tim is very involved with San Leandro's Davis Street Family Resource Center, and he sent me a note about an event they're having on October 8th. The event features a wine tasting and art auction, and local artists will be showing off their work up and down Bancroft Avenue. Wines will change halfway through the event, though Tim will get back to me on which bottles you can expect. Buy tickets at Zocalo Coffeehouse (if you see Tim or Mitch, the owners, say hi for me).
And don't forget about the Taste of Petaluma festival on October 21. Restaurants and other local food producers will be showing off their best work for ticket holders. I'll be one of the judges, so you can come boo or applaud my choices, all while helping the town's Cinnabar Theater.
