PINEDORADO

Small Town USA

Every Labor Day weekend the town of Cambria holds a three-day festival called Pinedorado. Organized by the Lions Club of Cambria, Pinedorado features a parade on Saturday which kicks-off the festivities; followed by three days of games for big and small, a nightly show featuring local talent, a car show, arts and craft fair, and food, Food, and more FOOD!

Pinedorado is the quintessentially small town activity—it is no small deal! Well over three to five our town’s entire population shows up from all over California, America, and the World! The parade this year included 81 floats and the auto show had to cut off at 75 entries due to lack of space!

It’s a great way celebrate the end of summer (or the beginning of the football season!) while raising a pretty good sum of money for local Cambria charities.

I have put together some photos and video from the weekend; including the “building” of the Friends of the Elephant Seal float, one of Di’s projects, and a small bit of the parade. Hope you enjoy!
