Let’s head out together for a great 150th anniversary celebration for the Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Colony in Placerville. Many of us visited this fascinating spot when our Gifu and Sapporo ambassadors were here, and enjoyed learning the history of this amazing farm, the first Japanese Colony in the US, established in California on June 8, 1869.
Carpooling is recommended, so we plan to meet on June 9, Sunday at 9:45 for a 10:00 departure, at the parking lot behind the Nimbus Winery off rte 50 at the Hazel Ave exit. For those preferring to go directly, we plan to arrive at Wakamatsu by about 10:30.
Tickets must be purchased on line before May 6 (cost will go up after this date) by those planning to attend, at $20.00 per person, not to be purchased at the festival. For information about this festival, especially the live action play to be performed about mid-day, go to ARConservanccy.org/wakamatsu. Food will be available as well as other vendors and activities.
