We're putting the last touches on a series of reels, jigs, strathspeys, and songs to keep you feeling cool this Thursday, August 16, at the Yolo County Fair! Look for us between 4:00 and 5:30 at the East Stage. The Fair starts this Wednesday, August 15, and you can download a complete PDF list of entertainers directly from the Fair's Official Website (or click here for the HTML version).
The Fair's free (though parking isn't), the food can't be beat, and the weather forecast for Thursday shows a high of only 91 degrees. Okay, so you won't need a jacket -- but that's still pretty mild. Once 5:30 rolls around and we pack up our cases, you can walk right into the Exhibit Hall next door to watch the taffy puller or a slicer-dicer demo, enter a raffle or two, and pick up all of the latest pencils, stickers, and refrigerator magnets from a variety of county service providers, or go line up for some of those amazing tacos, roast beef sandwiches, or chicken and corn.
It's such a lovely way to spend the evening!
Riggity Jig is Lee Riggs (flute, whistle), Josh Ray (guitar, vocals), Jim Coats (mandolin, bouzouki, vocals), Kyle Wallin and Jeffery Roy (percussion), David Riggs (fiddle), and Erik Leiken (guitar, pipes). We've been playing Celtic music in northern California since 1996. Hear us on Rabbie Burns Night in January and St. Pat's in March or at other gigs throughout the year. Drop us an email at dafiddla@hotmail.com!
