Sierra Madre News Net's Wistaria Festival page has now been updated with a video that features nearly 100 photos from the 2007 Festival (I was working in the park all day in 2008, so I have very few photos from last year. But that's okay, the vine was in better shape in 2007 than it was last year, so the pictures are better). The video soundtrack is audio I pulled from a video I shot of Horses on Astroturf performing "Love Me, Love Me, Not Fade Away/Magic Bus" in the park in 2008 (don't have many pictures, but since I was in the park by the bandshell, I shot more music videos than usual). Coincidentally, (okay, it was planned, not coincidental) the Sierra Madre Chamber of Commerce website has also been updated with an ordering system for shuttle tickets, using PayPal/Major Credit Cards.This year's event is scheduled for March 15, 2009. This year's Wistaria Committee (yes, it's all volunteer, nobody hired except the bus drivers) encourages you to get your tickets early, because there's going to be a bunch of radio advertising starting up soon that will (hopefully) lead to beaucoup ticket sales to the targeted audience in the Inland Empire/San Gabriel Valley. KOLA 99 will be doing a remote broadcast from the Wistaria Festival for two hours that day, and nearly five dozen commercials will be broadcast beginning later this month.
So get your tickets while you can. There's a link to the Chamber's website and the ticket sales page on the News Net's Wistaria page, www.SierraMadreWistariaFestival.com. Be sure to watch the video, you never know - your picture might be in it!
