At the Fairgrounds
Sat-Sun
Fancy felines from around the country will be on display and competing for Best Cat at the 36th annual Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) cat show presented by Crow Canyon Cat Club and sponsored by Dr. Elsey's Precious Pet Products.
The Rex's curly coat, the Scottish Fold's unusual ears, and the Japanese Bobtail's pom-pom tail will easily be found, as well as the distinctive looks of fluffy Persians and slinky Siamese. More the 200 cats representing 45 breeds will be on display.
Feline Agility Competition is a spectator favorite, where cats run through the same type of course that is commonly seen in dog shows, only on a smaller scale.
In addition to the judging activities throughout the day, spectators will be able to see cats 'up close and purrsonal' while they wait to compete, and have an opportunity to vote for their favorite to win the Spectators Choice Award. Owners are happy to answer questions about their cats and many will have kittens for sale. Rescue groups will have adoptable cats and kittens hoping to find forever homes.
Vendors will have a large assortment of arts and crafts, toys, gifts and gadgets for cats and cat lovers alike.
Proceeds benefit Northern California animal rescue groups, support disaster relief, and help sponsor feline health research through grants from the Winn Foundation and UC Davis.

This unique bicycle tour for women of all ages and abilities winds through Amador, Livermore, Diablo, and San Ramon Valleys. This metric century (100k/65 miles) is mostly flat with a few moderate hills. From the start at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, the ride circles south through Pleasanton, out through the vineyards of Livermore, then north and along the base of beautiful Mt. Diablo to Danville, where it turns south and winds back to the Fairgrounds in Pleasanton. Charming Princes will be at three rest/food stops along the way, with a cold lunch at the second. Our SAG service patrols the entire route to provide rider assistance if required. A Cinderella Classic ride patch is awarded to every rider. Leave your Prince Charming at home and enjoy a special day!
The Cinderella Classic & Challenge is a 65/95-mile recreational bicycle
ride (not a race) for women & girls only. Males do not ride Cinderella they

Defending The Caveman
Since 1991, Defending the Caveman has had both sexes roaring with laughter.
Audiences invariably recognize themselves in this hilariously insightful
play about the ways men and women fight, laugh and love. Writer Rob Becker
used his informal study of anthropology, prehistory, psychology, sociology
and mythology to create what has become the longest running solo play on
Broadway. A laugh-inducing peacemaker in the ongoing misunderstanding
between men and women, Caveman wins hearts wherever it goes.
