Reyes.  Art can be viewed at the Opening Reception on Friday evening, from 6 to 8:30 PM and on Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM.  The Art Show will be at Hutchins Street Square in the Cottage-Pisano rooms and entry is free.  The Art Show judging will be people’s choice this year, so come vote for you favorite Festival art and photographs.

Origami Cranes

All ages are invited to fold Origami cranes in the Cottage-Pisano foyer during the Festival.  This activity is organized by members of the August Peace Event in Sacramento to commemorate the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and their victims.  The cranes folded at the Festival will be sent to the Children's Peace Monument in Hiroshima.
