Tomales to throw a party

The town of Tomales may only have a little over 200 inhabitants, but they certainly know how to throw a party, and they have a big one planned Sunday, Sept. 2. That’s Founder’s Day and Tomalans will take over the Tomales Town Park from 12:30 to 5 p.m.

Four live bands will provide music: The Mighty Groove, Wagon, Special Agents and the Hill Williams. Those celebrating the founders won’t go hungry. The food for sale will include barbecue, artisan sausages, Indian food, tamales (of course), pork ribs, paella, and oysters.

To wash it down there will be fine wines, microbrew beer and local cider. There will be craft booths, and lots of activities for kids. Admission is free, so put on your dancing shoes and come join the fun.
