The city of Pleasanton will host a free Fall Festival at Alviso Adobe Community Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today.
The public event is also being sponsored by 4-H clubs and Meadowlark Dairy.
The day’s schedule includes a presentation by Meadowlark; a visit with Fiona, the park’s life-sized, fiberglass milking cow; site tours; a live animal display by the local 4-H club; authentic Californios music and dance by California Fandango Project, and games and crafts for children.
The event will also feature hands-on activities and presentations from the Adobe’s three time periods: Ohlone, Californio and the Meadowlark Dairy.
Of special interest will be demonstrations such as apple cider pressing, acorn grinding, blacksmithing and ice cream churning. Other activities will include cow and horse roping, short birding hikes and an introduction to the park’s new Exploration Backpacks, which can be checked out with activities relating to the history of the site.
Visitors to the Adobe, which is located just off Foothill Road at 3465 Old Foothill Road, also will be treated to complimentary burritos.
For more information, call (925) 931-3439.
