(With apologies to Eddie Cantor.) I just can’t think of any better musical number to announce the results of the Parks, Marina, Recreation & Library Commission meeting last night. They were reviewing the final request for the Third Annual Beaver Festival this August 7th to be held in the still nameless (but destined-to-be-called Beaver Park) in downtown Martinez. The commission took a brief look at the application, spoke in glowing terms about the tile wall and the events popularity, and gave a unanimous thumbs up! The whole thing took about 10 minutes.
Later that night I got an email from Shell that the festival will receive a sponsorship of 500 dollars from the oil company. All in all it was a wildly positive beaver day, and it needed a big, big hollywood theme song.
