The Annual Mandarin Orange Festival

The Mandarin Festival is an annual event held at the Placer County Fairgrounds in Auburn. It's a lot of fun, there are plenty of mandarin oranges to purchase and bring home. There are crafts and other booths to see. In the past, with my friends, I've had lunch there, but last year, we walked through the festival with umbrellas--still fine--but ate lunch at a restaurant in Auburn. I'm copying the information below for everyone to see. We can definitely form carpools from El Dorado County.
