Fall Festival's 40th Extravaganza

Come out for Castro Valley's annual celebration this Saturday and Sunday.

 

It's here!

Join the 60,000 people who are expected to attend Castro Valley's Fall Festival on Saturday and Sunday.

The event marks 40 years of celebrating the community.

Owing to construction on the Boulevard, the festival will once again be held in front of the Castro Valley Library on Norbridge Avenue.

About 150 booths have signed up for the event, including artisans of all varieties, local non-profits and businesses.

There will be three stages for live music.

Chounaird, Wente and Beringer (Stone Cellars) wineries will pour wine and Horizon Beverages will sell beer.

The festival will be a street-side buffet of speciality foods and stalwarts like burgers.

More than 100 cars vintage vehicles will take part in the Classic Car Show at the Castro Valley BART Station parking lot on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Proceeds from that event will go to the Chamber of Commerce and the Eden Area Regional Occupational Program's Auto Technology program.

The Fall Festival will be held in conjunction with the Farmer's Market at the BART Station.

There will also be free parking at the BART Station lot.

Another problem: When notified of a reply to a comment I could click the link in the email to go toRead More the article. That was not possible this time. So because a small minority zooms there computer the layout should be as it is? I don't think so. All that white space means that an article that could be read with just one or two clicks to scroll through is now going to take more scrolling to view. One thing that seems to be missing in today's world are web designers who (1) change the layout just because and (2) web designers who have neglected to consider the audience. The more I look at this layout the less I like it. The font needs to be darker than it is. the blue (like in "announcements") needs to be bolder. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 best), I rank the new "improved" design a 3.
