2011 Gilroy Garlic Festival

This year’s Garlic Festival – great weather, wonderful breeze, awesome food with something new, lots of talk about “snarky,” time to spend with wonderful festival friends and the discovery of the Sauce Goddess (more on that in future posts.) Oh, and a little bit of work too.
Bill Strange, the official festival photographer, took a lot of great photos, he shared these with me.

  1. Yes, the Sauce Goddess! She had a booth on the Park side, in the line-up with Christopher Ranch but further...north? (toward Ranch side)

    She's from PB and fits in with something else I am long working on...more to follow.
