KELSEYVILLE – Wildhurst Vineyards of Kelseyville is sponsoring an addition to the multiple activities being presented during the 17th annual Kelseyville Pear Festival.
Cowboy singer Dave Stamey will appear in the Wildhurst Courtyard on Fri., Sept. 25, at 6:30 p.m. in a benefit for the Kelseyville High School chapter of Future Farmers of America.
Tickets, at $25 per person, are available for purchase in the Wildhurst tasting room, 3855 Main St.
Dave Stamey has been a cowboy, a mule packer, a dude wrangler and now is one of the most popular Western entertainers working today.
He has twice been voted Entertainer of the Year, three times Male Performer of the Year and twice Songwriter of the Year by the Western Music Association. He has also received the Will Rogers Award from the Academy of Western Artists.
Stamey says that his “experiences all came out of the world in which I was raised – the ranching world. It just happens to be a way of life I know very well, and it’s what I’m comfortable writing about. It keeps me anchored. There are thousands of things in everybody’s day that can be turned into songs, and the secret is, if you do it in a truthful way, everybody gets it.”
The Lake Fiddlers will open the evening’s program. A complimentary glass of Wildhurst wine will be available with a ticket purchase. Seating is general admission and limited. Call the tasting room for more information, 707-279-4302.
The Pear Festival itself will start at 9 a.m. on Saturday, with the parade at 9:30 a.m. featuring entries from Kelseyville and elsewhere.
The popular contingent of antique and working tractors will once again be part of the parade and later on display.
Other components of the festival include the Pear Pavilion with historical and agricultural displays and pear products, arts and crafts booths, a fine art show, a quilt show, children’s activities and much more.
