Support local music with Sierra Madre Sue

"RAIN RAIN, COLD & GLOOM -
STAY AWAY SO OUR VINE WILL BLOOM!"
It worked a few years ago, so why not try it again? I drove by the Vine last Sunday and it was in bloom, but needed another good week of sun to be really great... just my opinion from the car window, anyway. Even if you don't go see the World-famous Wistaria Vine, there's alot of great music and other stuff going on at the Festival that make it worthwhile. Definitely one of my favorite events of the year in beautiful Sierra Madre!
