San Joaquin Asparagus Festival Organizers Announce Plans to Save Gilroy Garlic Festival | Eater SF

"After organizers announced plans to cancel the popular annual event “indefinitely” in mid-April, I watched Bay Area residents lament the loss of one of Northern California’s stinkiest celebrations; while the big production is shelved, smaller replacement events the original organizers have put together — like the golf tournament scheduled for June 24 — are still set to run. I also noted that the festival’s association says it had no prior knowledge of outside groups claiming to revive the event, and that the community has been through enough without misinformation being spread in its name." - Paolo Bicchieri
