Great opportunity for exposure!
Did you know… the Oakhurst Mountain Peddlers Fair attracts over 15,000 to the Memorial Day Weekend Show? Almost everyone who attends will stop and purchase a beverage at one of the OACC beverage booths. These booths can be a source of great exposure for your group or organization. Groups are allowed to display banners, flyers, and brochures while they volunteer a four hour work shift with a team of 2 or more adults. It takes over 200 volunteers to man these booths during the newly extended 3 day event. So we need lots of volunteers!

The Assembly Health Committee is scheduled to consider AB 8 on April 17. AB 8 requires employers to provide health care coverage or pay a new payroll tax, which should require approval by a two-thirds vote, although the bill has not been classified that way by the Legislature.
