A marathon session of the Scotts Valley City Council last week was long on debate and short on decisions regarding the Woodside project, a proposed commercial and residential development on Scotts Valley Drive where RVs of Merritt and the quarry once stood.

On the weekend of May 31, the 2015 Redwood Mountain Faire was held at Roaring Camp in Felton. The benefit was held to provide funds for 23 local non-profit organizations that provide community and educational services for our valley.The 2015 Redwood Mountain Faire’s Steering Committee announced, “We proudly give to this community another [donation of] $59,000.” In 2013, they raised $40,000 and $50,000 in 2015.  Nancy Macy, Valley Women’s Club of San Lorenzo Valley, said, “This year, over 5,200 people showed up at the Faire to enjoy a sunny weekend at Roaring Camp.” There were 22 bands on two stages that provided an array of music. There were also many children’s activities and local artists were there to show their work. All ages enjoyed many choices for entertainment and activities.According to Macy, “It took over 350 volunteers to make this event such a success. Without their hard work, the event would not have been possible.”Faire proceeds will benefit the following organizations that helped staff the Faire: South Street Centre, Mountain Community Resources, Valley Churches United Missions, Boulder Creek Recreation and Park District, Camp Joy Gardens, SLV Community Band, SLV Diversity Works, Rotary Club of SLV, SLV Museum, Santa Cruz Derby Girls, The Artemis Project, Boy Scout Troop 604, Friends of Quail Hollow Park, Scotts Valley Counseling Center, Tara Home, The Clean Oceans Project, the Valley Women’s Club of SLV (presenting the Faire), and the following school groups: Boulder Creek Elementary Parents’ Club, Charter Family Booster Club, SLV High Athletics, SLV High Music Boosters, SLV High Football and the SLV Middle School Panther Club.Faire sponsors are listed on the Faire website: redwoodmountainfaire.com.For Lost & Found information: [email protected].
