You Anna Colavita and Bananafest
August 2nd, 2008

Items included cat food, dog food, leashes and pet toys.
Bananafest,
sponsored by 209Vibe.com,
was held in the afternoon on Saturday, August 2nd at
Royce
Farms BBQ located at 10880 N. Highway 99. The free
music festival included The Second String Quintet, Pretty
Mama and the Not So Hots, The Icarus Jones Collective
and The Outlaw Dance Society. The event started a year
ago when Anna Colavita wanted more for her birthday
so she decided to organize a small music festival. She
was surprised to see it draw 150-200 people when she
thought it would have been just family, friends and
co-workers. This years event is expected to be bigger.
