Kudo's to Dave Tillman and the entire Dry Bean Festival Planning Team for putting together a wonderful event this year. I can't wait to see how fantastic next year's event will be. I'm sure it will be even better. Great job Dave!!!!!

I been going to the Bean Festival the last fourteen years and this years festival was the worse I have been to!!!!!!!!! The Festival has gone down hill since the year they charge admission. I also talk to a few vendor about the festival and they told me that they wouldn’t be back next year and that Tracy vendor fee are higher that the Bay Area Festival fees . To the other people who left comments sounds like you work for the Festival, how sad !

Who cares:
Did anyone watch the U. S. open tennis match, wow what a match. Two plus hours of a greatest match ever. Serena Williams & Jelena Jankovic, really put on a show.

Tom Benigno,

Maybe they could have a tennis match at the bean festival? Then you could get the best of both, without having to pay for it on Channel 26?
