Mimosas, Jewish Heritage Festivals, Fanny's...

What else could you want on the perfect lazy sunday but a K street pub crawl! I can't believe we've lived in Sac for over a year and have not taken advantage of all that Midtown, Downtown and Old Sac have to offer... we started at the Capitol Garage, through Capitol park stumbling upon the Jewish Heritage Festival. Then made our way to "C" on K street, down to the Hard Rock Cafe, through the Westfield Mall to Fanny Anne's and back - all in about 7 hours - what a fun day!

Here's a little blurb on the JHF in Sac:

In conjunction with national Jewish American Heritage Month, the Jewish Federation of the Sacramento Region* brings a new tradition to Sacramento - the first annual Jewish Heritage Festival. Building on the success of “Salute to Israel”, which drew thousands to the Sacramento Capitol West Steps for Israel’s 60th anniversary last May, the 2009 Jewish Heritage Festival will celebrate Jewish life around the world, from the shores of Ellis Island, through Europe, Africa, Latin America and the kibbutzim of Israel.

With so many differences and divergent upbringings, there is much that we share as a global community – Jews and non-Jews alike. Join us Sunday, May 3, 2009 as we celebrate all that unites us with traditional food, live music and entertainment, dancing troupes, cultural exhibits and displays, family and children’s activities, a special teen zone and much more. Global values like Tikkun Olam (“repairing the world”) will be highlighted in cross-cutting themes such as “The Green Revolution: Repairing the World One Step at a Time,” which will bring attention to this increasingly critical subject all throughout the festival.

Jewish Heritage Festival offers sponsors a unique opportunity to reach a highly desirable audience through this heavily publicized and widely attended cultural event. Join us this May when we celebrate the Jewish contribution locally and globally and all that we share in our past, present and future.
