Almond Blossom Festival in Yolo County

The Capay Valley Almond Blossom Festival is this Sunday. It's a great time to visit the valley when the trees are blooming, and the ribs are cooking up in Rumsey. If you come through Esparto, check out the FFA breakfast at the high school and the classic car show. Then drive up the valley past the casino to get up to Rumsey for some great ribs. Along the way the small, and I mean small, towns of Capay, Brooks, Guinda all have something going on.

If you haven't taken a drive up highway 16 West through the Capay Valley in the spring, you really should. It is a beautiful place this time of year, Realtor season as we call it.. It is going to be crowded this year because the Chinese new year is this week and the casino traffic will be in full force, but if you get up to Esparto before noon, you should be ok.
