Did you get wild with us last weekend?
SYRCL’s Wild for the Yuba Wine & Beer Tasting Experience and Auction took place on Saturday, June 7th at the historic North Star House in Grass Valley. Thanks to our community sponsors, volunteers, auction donors, participating breweries and wineries, food vendors, dessert donors, and staff, fun was had by all, and money was raised to help SYRCL’s programs protect and restore our Yuba Watershed.
Festivities included tastings from regional wineries and breweries, live music by the Earles of Newtown, SYRCL’s famous auction, desserts, and merriment under the stars!
SYRCL’s auction included over 260 items this year! Thank you to all of the businesses and individuals who helped SYRCL who helped bolster our efforts for future success on behalf of our beloved Yuba:
