Long Barn Car Show and Craft Faire ‘08
And the winner is: a 1928 Buick 4 door Town Brougham. Diantha Potter of Columbia poses with her winning entry, along with John Savidge, her driver/mechanic. “This is the first trophy this car has won!” Diantha proudly proclaims. “It was dad’s car. It’s been in the family a long time, and I inherited it in 1993!”

Quickly growing in popularity, the 2nd Annual Show ‘N’ Shine Car Show and Craft Faire was held in Long Barn on August 16th, and was a resounding success! There was an impressive display of custom cars and hot rods; a wide array of arts and crafts; face painting; and tantalizing BBQ prepared and sold by Sonny’s Smokin’ BBQ of Sierra Village. A multitude of raffle prizes were awarded and live blues-rock was performed by the fast-rising local band, Dossi on the Rocks! “Wow! What a great turn out!” exclaimed Debbie Sharp, promoter of the car show. “I’m so happy to see the community come out to support our event!” Proceeds will benefit Kids Reach, a program that provides grants to teachers in schools from Twain Harte, eastward to Pinecrest.

A redneck birdfeeder? Indeed! Utilizing empty beverage bottles, e.g., Jack Daniels, Bud Light, Pepsi, the artisan (Nancy Reflection’s of Mi Wuk) has created some rather unique looking hummingbird feeders!
