The crew from the Idyllwild Bake Shop & Brew served up food to many of the families that attended the 51st-annual Rotary Club’s Harvest Festival on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 24 and 25. A large variety of crafts were offered for sale, and vendors reported brisk sales. A few lucky winners took home some wonderful gift baskets, including one that featured more than $2,000 worth of local offerings. Hard work by the members of the sponsoring Idyllwild Rotary Club made this year’s festival another huge success.
