For those who wanted to create a little magic themselves, a special "Fairy Godmother/Godfather"
section offered several opportunities for festival goers to help make a few wishes come true.
100% of any donations collected for the charity you selected went directly to that charity. This fall,
we collected donations to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Sacramento and
Northeastern California, the Childbright Project, and a local elementary school. For additional
