The results are in for Gilroy Garlic Festival’s annual Art Poster Contest and once again a local artist has come out on top. Sheryl Cathers of Gilroy bested the other 28 competitors to take home the cash prize of $750.
Goodness, gracious, great cloves of garlic: Event organizers behind Gilroy's internationally-renown foodie extravaganza have sweetened (or spiced?) the 1st, 2nd and 3rd-place prizes for the event's signature competition.
The $18,000 cash theft from the Garlic Festival is in fact being investigated by police, said Gilroy Police Chief Denise Turner despite the Gilroy Police Department indicating last week that they were not.
From country, to blues, to jazz and swing, entertainment at the Garlic Festival was in abundance this year, as several talented acts performed at the four stages, set up throughout Christmas Hill Park, all weekend long.
