Gourd Art Festival donating $7,500 to area charities

FALLBROOK — The International Gourd Art Festival, held at the Welburn Gourd Farm in De Luz Canyon every June, is giving away $7,500 in admission tickets as a fundraising opportunity for local Fallbrook and Temecula Valley charities.

The Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary and Keep Fallbrook Clean & Green are among the local nonprofits already selling the tickets. Tickets are $7.50 when purchased from a participating nonprofit or on the Gourd Festival Web site, a $2 discount from the at-the-door price.

This year’s event dates are June 23 and 24, with gourd art classes taking place the three days prior to the festival. A class schedule and directions to the farm can be obtained by visiting http://www.GourdFestival.com.

Local nonprofits interested in selling festival tickets as a fundraiser should contact Vickie Knox at the Gourd Festival office at (760) 728-4588.
