BLOG - Marin Real Estate

Novato is a town in the northmost part of Marin County, CA.  We are extremely proud of our musical talents/influences, educational system, talented students, dedicated teachers, caring parents and community members. As one of my friends describes Novato, this is a town with 'HUMANITY'.  Living here, I have to say that I agree wholeheartly!  

Out of the extraordinaty humanity, the love of music, the care for our public schools, the local music circle started the annual 'Rock and Blues by The Lake' all day fundraising event for public schools six years ago.  The annual event is hosted at Stafford Lake, one of the most gorgeous backdrops for mucial performances.       

The programs are geared towards whole family entertainment with three stages with big stage for the big bands, next to it, is the medium stage for local high school performers.  At the other end of the park is a smaller stage for younger kids, individual performers, Battle of the Band, etc. 

There are also many play structures for  younger kids, as well as booths from public schools with activities to introduce young kids to music, drama, theater, drawing, etc.

The event is staffed mostly by volutneers from local PTSAs and boosters, with net proceeds going to public schools.  Local musicians participated and local merchants donates both service and goods.  The Rotary Club of Novato Sunrise, the club of Yours Truly, wiill be in charge of Parking at the site.  Since inception the event has raised over $330,000 for local public schools.  

This year's event is headlined by Three Eye Blind and Plain White T's; selection to endear both younger and older crowds.  The event organizer expects sold out crowd.
