  1. I came up from Temecula, not knowing anyone. I had the most amazing day! The community of Idyllwild were the kindest and most welcoming people I have met in a long time. It was a great event! Music filled the air all afternoon and food was abundant. Thanks Idyllwild. Can't wait until the next one!

  2. My wife and I also came up from Temecula. We met Fran and many others there and thoroughly enjoyed this most worthwhile event. There was great music and more!! Based on what we saw and experienced, it would have been accurate to add after your photos: "and a good time was had by all;" We'll be back for the next one.

    Idyllwild — What a cool place to be !!
