Wine Barrels on Parade 2006 May - September - Artistically decorated wine barrels displayed in front of Historic Main Street merchant locations and some outlying city of Placerville locations

A big thank you goes out to the El Dorado Winery Association for their sponsorship and the donation of the canvases (wine barrels)! Despite some frustrating issues with vandalism this year, the project was enjoyed by many locals and visitors to Historic Main Street in Placerville. All of the barrels have now been donated to various charities, businesses and organizations for future enjoyment or fundraising. The committee is now thinking about what to use as canvases for next year! More to come!" [click here for a pdf brochure of the wine barrels] ... click on thumbnails for a larger view ...
