Simply Saturday - Faire or Fair

This is one of those weekend where there is a lot of Faire or Fairs happening in the same weekend.  Maker Faire is probably the one that Jeff would like to go and see.  He has attended a couple or so for the past years.  It is all about the latest creative creations of local artists. Here's the site.    http://makerfaire.com/bayarea/2011/

The other one is called the A la carte & art festival.  I love going to this type of venue because the live music schedule is filled with great musicians providing music the whole day.  The artists are from the Bay area and maybe some from other states.  When it comes to food selection, there are so many to choose from you end up tasting a lot during the day.  The best part of this even is that Admission is FREE.  http://www.miramarevents.com/alacarte/
