Did you know!? :📣 please take a moment to read how it all began.

•🐝The Honey Bee festival began in 1980!
All started with a dream to raise money to build a park in Palo Cedro.

•🐝The Festival was organized by local honeybee business owner Lois Park and her husband Homer.
Then it included Bee costume contests, pie baking contests. The festival grew over the years and eventually included a craft fair featuring only handcrafted items.

•🐝Emilie Reedy later took over as the leader of the festival and helped to ensure that the proceeds were used to complete the Palo Cedro Park, which had been Lois Parks' original dream.

•🐝In the early 2000s, the festival moved to Bishop Francis Quinn Catholic Campus and continued to grow in popularity, becoming the largest attended craft fair in Shasta County with an annual visitor count of 6-8000. Volunteers from various organizations, including Boy Scout troops and Pioneer High School, helped to make the event a success each year.

•🐝 The festival merged with the Palo Cedro Park organization, which had been working to establish a community park for many years, and the proceeds from the festival were used to fund various park projects, including the fence, gate, water, trails, and playground.

We want to take a moment to recognize and thank the all hard work and volunteer time the PALO CEDRO COMMUNITY ACTION TEAM (Palo Cedro Board of Directors) puts in to this event to make sure the park stays open and maintained.
Every dollar raised from this event helps make it possible to keep the park going!
