A Great Day In Elk

Steven Bates with the full band playing at the  fun-filled “Great Day in Elk”

The band's set will begin around 4:00

The parade starts at noon on Highway 1, with floats, tykes on bikes, Smokey the Bear and lots more.  The carnival follows, with game booths and prizes and do-it-yourself craft projects for children.  There's a $100 grease pole, fortune-telling, a massage and acupuncture booth, a watermelon-eating contest, sack races, a crafts fair, a cake auction, silent auction and a raffle drawing.

Daytime food includes oysters, chicken caesar salad, hot dogs, fresh baked focaccia bread, Moroccan lentil soup and lots of homemade goodies. There will be fresh-pressed Greenwood Ridge apple cider and Elk's famous margaritas, along with soft drinks and beer.

The bar is open until 1 am.

So, come to the annual “Great Day” in the coastal village of Elk, located 5 miles south of Highway 128 on Highway 1, and enjoy a fun-filled family day while supporting the Greenwood Community Center.
