Whiskey Flat Days. Feb 17-20, 2012 Kernville, CA
IMPORTANT: I have written a book about our experiences selling at Street Fairs, festivals, A&C Shows, fairs, flea markets. I know that you will really find reading it quite enjoyable and you'll be able to relate to a lot of things that I describe. Having to endure 71 mph winds, heavy rains, floods, lying and cheating promoters. You'll love it. Only $14.95. Street Fairs for profit, fun and madness
The 54th Annual Whiskey Flat Days will be held February 18-21, 2011, and the theme is "Goin' To The Dogs". Take a step back in time and celebrate life in the 1850's. This old-fashioned, western style festival includes a parade, gunfighters, carnival, music, vendors, and a Whiskey Flat Encampment. Enter the Epitaph Contest, Frog Jumpin' Contest, Whiskerino Contest, and more! Be here to find out who will be our next Honorary Mayor of Whiskey Flat! (Chamber of Commerce)
Click here to read my review I guess that getting to the town of Kernville is half the fun? After taking Highway 5 to Buttonwillow, we gassed up and followed 58 to Bakersfield. We then took 178 toward Lake Isabella and Kernville. This was a long, winding road and a bit difficult with larger vehicles...trucks, vans towing trailers, motor homes, etc. You really have to be careful driving around the curves. However, it is a very scenic drive as you wind your way along the Kern River.
In 2010, there were a number of break-ins at the show. Click here to read news account. I have heard contradicting accounts of what happened from other vendors. Some of the culprits were apprehended and some merchandise was recovered I was not there. If you wish to do the event, I strongly recommend that you ask the Chamber of Commerce about the security measures they are taking. This is a nice show in a beautiful location, but it gets rather cold and usually a day or two of bad (rainy and snowy) weather. Good luck. The thefts will surely be a topic of conversation there this time. Be sure to read Starving Vendors website.
