Thank you for your support

Why Your Support is so Important?

Because small rural communities, like the North Trinity Lake region, are pretty much on their own to maintain a quality of life for their visitors and residents.

A majority of our residents work very hard for multiple organizations to keep us safe, support our children, keep our natural resources accessible to all, and help our citizens when in need.

We truly appreciate the amazing support that we receive from residents, friends, families, and visitors who share with us a passion for nature, quiet, outdoor recreation, and the community that makes the North Trinity Lake so special.

Your support helps make North Trinity Lake a place where people want to live and a place to which people want to return.

For 2011, a portion of Fest proceeds were donated to the Trinity Center VFD, Coffee Creek VFD, and the Trinity Center Community Hall.

2011 News
New Activities, New Wineries, Same Great Jazz

We expanded the Fest this year with the addition of local artist exhibits and sales. Our guests stopped by their booths to see watercolors, fine photography, oil paintings, and more.

We were excited with the lineup of top wineries from Trinity County and nearby niche vineyards. Winery representatives were present to talk about their wines and answer any of your wine questions. We thank our wineries for their tremendous support.

Aimee Fackrell Nolte and Hideaki Tokunaga joined us again in 2011 for a great afternoon of jazz. Hide (pronounced "Ee-day") returned from Japan for our event!

Our silent auction with "must-have" items and our raffle to support local after-school sports programs were very popular.

Responding to vocal demands from the guys, we added barbecuing to the cookoff. In our new location, cooks were able to cook on-site with BBQs and propane or butane stoves this year. Also, we increased the Cookoff Judges' Choice Awards:

1st place - $150
2nd place - $100
3rd place - $75

Our expanded "Beer Garden" was buzzing with guests enjoying microbrews from Lost Coast Brewery and Etna Brewery. These breweries make exceptional artisan beers and we offered a selection of their best.

Starting to get hungry? The Weaverville Clampers joined us again this year to offer their better-than-ever BBQ sandwiches. Be sure to stop by and feed that hunger.
