Beaver Festival #6 will be taking place at Beaver Park, 495 Alhambra Ave. in Martinez from 11am to 4pm on saturday, August 3rd, 2013.  It is really fun.  It’s free with lots of entertainment including this year the Scottish Fiddlers.  You can find out what you need to find out and see the new kit youtube, too on www.martinezbeavers.org.  Every year they have a contest for kids to collect a charm from the various wild life booths and at the end of that quest, they can have them made into a necklace.  Really cute, too.  This year I hear that grownups can purchase a charm necklace for a donation of $10 or more.  The charms are made by someone associated with Wild Bride Jewelry, but they are special for this event.  If you stay into the evening you might actually see the beavers, who are nocturnal.  You can see the dams in the daytime and there are lots of wonderful things to see and do there and lots of activities for children.
