The Day The Music Died - Don McLean on Buddy Holly's crash

Tulelake, CA— This Saturday, August 11, 2018, in Tulelake, CA— There will be the TULELAKE SHINDIG STREET FAIR & BAZAAR from 10 AM to 7 PM.

Does anyone remember the "Hotsy Totsy Horseradish Festival" in Tulelake? Oh man, those were the days. Like the SHINDIG but much BIGGER and so much fun. Now that event was FUN 100%. It was 100% kid friendly and 100% adult involvement. When I think about that festival being gone, I think about the song, "The Day the Music Died". That was when the beginning of the end started for Tulelake.

Maybe that is why I originated the SHINDIG. Maybe the music died then, but I so much want it to come back. I know, in my heart, that when I can no longer have this SHINDIG event, for one reason or another, no one will continue with the "fun" and the "music" this small event brings to Tulelake. Just like many of us sit and remember those days of the "Hotsy Totsy Horseradish Festival" and all the fun.

Later, I hope much later, there will be people that will remember the "Tulelake Shindig Street Fair & Bazaar (THE BIGGEST LITTLE STREET FAIR & BAZAAR IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA). The first street fair that has ever been held in Tulelake, CA. I hope everyone remembers the "Tulelake SHINDIG as fondly as many of us fondly remember the "Hotsy Totsy Horseradish Festival" of the past.
