OceanFest coming October 6th

OceanFest is a festival down on Crissy Field hosted by the Farallones Marine Sanctuary Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the Gulf of the Farallones wildlife. In case you didn't know, the Farallon Islands are a group of islands just off the coast of San Francisco and completely surrounded by Great White Sharks! If I come across one of these animals in the wild I'm not so sure it's the shark's life I would be concerned with, but there is no denying that this is a good cause.

By the way, there are a ton of raffle prizes at this event, including a Kayaking trip for two to Magdalena Bay (Baja California), a six day whale and birding adventure, a one night stay at the Pelican Inn (Muir Beach), a half a case of wines by Thumbprint and Valley of the Moon wineries, etc., etc. Expect sustainable seafood and vegetarian fare.


The festival takes place from 11am-4pm on Saturday October 6th down on Crissy Field. http://www.farallones.org/news/event_calendar.php
