A major draining control project was undertaken in the Summerfest venue area this season along with an expansion of our spring water system and electrical outlets. The work was done by volunteers Robert Ware, Bob Hermsmeyer, Jim Maul and Tim Buckhout. This work enlarged the Summerfest area for greater event capacity, while providing better drainage control within that area and more convenient access to the spring water system for our 3rd grade Living History School Days program where children from both the Portola and Quincy school districts spend a day on the ranch each September learning what life was like on a working ranch in the 1850's. This work will also enhance space in the area for our future amphitheaters.
