Musical guests Blue Moon provided folk music as the colors of harvest painted the sky and the farmers' bounty. Pumpkins, tomatoes, squash and other fall vegetables were on offer for the final event.
The Certified Farmers' Market, co-sponsored by the Lake County Community Co-op, the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce and the City of Clearlake, drew hundreds of people throughout the season.
Farmers – both local and regional – artisan and craft vendors from around the lake, food vendors, service organizations, and local musicians from a broad spectrum of musical genres, including the Lower Lake High School Jazz band and Show Choir, joined together each week since June to help create a community event and bring "direct from the farmer" fresh produce and other farm products at the breezy, lakeside setting in downtown Clearlake.
Volunteers in Policing (VIPs) and the Explorer program (a youth in policing program) helped with traffic and crowd control, and many weeks Allen Markowski filmed various vendors, attendees and musicians, which later aired on the county's local PEG Channel, TV 8.
"This was a genuine community organized event," co-organizer JoAnn Saccato said. "I'm delighted at how much we accomplished for our first year together and really look forward to next season. I believe it's an indication of the new 'community consciousness' of Clearlake."
Organizers intend to begin the event again next year in late May or early June.

HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE – Hidden Valley Lake residents Susanne La Faver and Valarie Skinner-Martin, Ed.D, were honored recently for outstanding volunteer service to the HVL association as chair and member, respectively, of the first-ever Safety and Security Advisory Committee.
“Susanne and Valarie were instrumental in providing enthusiasm, direction and leadership in the development of this new standing committee,” said Board President Don Dornbush.
According to Charles Russ, chief of HVL Safety and Security, the women spearheaded policy improvements and security and public safety services within the community.
They worked closely with residents, staff, board members, local government officials, and other association volunteers.
The women were presented appreciation plaques and floral bouquets at an HVL association board of directors meeting.
Other committee members, George Lehne, Ed Carver and Roger Sciutto, were also thanked for their dedication and volunteer service during 2007-08.

Attendees are requested to meet at the Wildhurst Vineyards Winery parking lot at 3495 Benson Lane in Kelseyville. Sign in and refreshments begin at 8:30 a.m.
Topics to be addressed include the advantages and pitfalls of machine pruning, goals and expectations in different orchards, effects on light interception and return growth and cropping, and follow-up pruning plans and strategies. While the focus will be on pear trees, growers of all orchard crops considering machine pruning will find the information and discussion valuable.
Guest speakers will include Dr. Ted DeJong and Bruce Lampinen from the Department of Plant Sciences at UC Davis, Larry Peltzer of Peltzer Enterprises in Visalia and Erick Nielsen of Erick Nielsen Enterprises in Orland.
Participants will carpool to four different locations to view various orchard configurations that were machine topped and/or machine hedged soon after the 2008 pear harvest.
There is no registration fee for the meeting and advance reservations are not required. Those requiring special accommodations should contact the UCCE office at least one week prior to the meeting.
