The annual Mountain Mandarin Festival celebrates 24 years with the new crop of delicious, Foothills-grown Mandarin oranges, a Mandarin Recipe cooking contest, professional chef demonstrations, food, crafts, a Peel & Eat contest, live music and entertainment. Placer County growers will sell thousands of pounds of fresh Mandarin oranges and gift baskets accompanied by all the free samples you like.
Proceeds benefit the scholarship fund of the Newcastle Area Business Association and other community projects.
Kitty spoke with Rich Colwell from Colwell Thundering Herd Ranch about his role in the festival.
