The Yucaipa Iris Festival is another one of those events I put on our calendar every year and something else comes along and we never make it. The Iris Festival is of course a flower show but it is also a Gem and Mineral Show and a car show. Of course if we go to a gem and mineral show that means buying jewelry right. Karen says she who dies with the most jewelry wins and I guess she wants to be a winner.

The car show had an eclectric collection of cars. I mean what Southern California event would be complete without a car show. The Corvair was certainly not stock and had a V8 engine stuffed in the back.

The Iris Festival had more than 80 outside vendors filling the craft and food area. They also had entertainment going all weekend at an amphitheater.  It made for an entertaining way to kill a few hours and of course buy some jewlery.
