Sheep Ranch, CA…The summer is packed with lots of fun, music, festivals, specialty events and more. On Saturday, August 1, 5:00pm to 10:00pm, the Calaveras Arts Council turns the sleepy town of Sheep Ranch into a Louisiana bayou without the alligators and humidity. Their dinner dance fundraiser, the Cajun Fete, will once again dress up the historic 100 year old Pioneer Hotel grounds with festive lights, Cajun beads, tables with silent auction items, zydeco music and more. Seating is limited. Ticket prices for five hours of fun, food, and music is $65.00. If you have a bit of the volunteer spirit in you, call the art council. Volunteer tickets are discounted. Call (209)754-1774 to make arrangements to help.

All tickets much be purchased in advance….no sales at the event. You can order your tickets online by going to www.calaverasarts.org or call Calaveras Arts at (209)754-1774.

Come and enjoy the party, dine on Jambalaya shrimp, barrel-smoked chicken, grilled Andouille sausage, beans, rice, salad, and Cajun sauces and seasonings. Cajun Kickers, wine and beer are available for purchase with free lemonade, cold tea and water. After dinner, dance your feet off to the music of Grammy nominated Lisa Haley and the Zydekats. The LA Times describes the band as Joyful, exotic… a la the bluesy moans of Janis Joplin…” and “The most joyful Americana/Cajun/Zydeco act on tour today!”
