The Historic Fort of Taft, Ca

09/16/2025

It’s been a little quiet over here but that’s because we’ve been making things happen. We’re in the middle of 4 events this week before we go full steam ahead, everything Oildorado.
Tickets have been selling for all events; October 11th, Angels Roost concert, October 13th wine and dinner with music by Joey Romly, and October 17th Casino night.
Our last picnic of the summer season is this Friday. Semper Fries is our food vendor and he will be bringing his snocone truck too. Unfortunately our lemonade people had to cancel but you can catch them all over Taft as they are popping up everywhere.
We’re starting plans for our November flea market. Information will be put out next week if you are interested.
Be kind and have a great week ❤️❤️❤️
