Upcoming festival to harvest seasonal fun

The San Mateo Harvest Festival is taking place for three days this November.

The event is set to feature arts and crafts for sale. In addition, there will be music provided by Tom Rigney and Flambeau, strolling entertainers like Mama Claus and Fables of the West, and jugglers. Chef Ray L. Duey will be giving a fruit carving demonstration. Of course, there is also going to be food and drink for sale.

The Kid Zone will provide activities such as gingerbread cookie decorating and parents can receive a free child ID kit. There are also set to be prize giveaways, which include a $50 certificate to spend at the show.

Visitors can receive $2 off the price of admission if they bring a non-perishable food item to be donated to the Loves and Fishes Family Kitchen, or can purchase a $1 reusable shopping bag in which proceeds will go to the Peninsula Humane Society.

Vendors, who will likely come from all over the area, including nearby Hayward, may wish to make their booths more attractive. This may involve investing in banner printing services.

The San Mateo Harvest Festival is to take place at the San Mateo Event Center from November 14 to 16. Admission is $9 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $4 for those between the ages of 13 and 17; this is good for all three days. Call 1-800-345-1212 to find out more.
