Baker says there will be over a dozen performers, an art gallery, face painting, and food trucks.  The Center of the Arts has been drawing local and international artists for years.  According to Baker, getting big name artists to come perform in Nevada County takes dedication and hard work, among other things.

She says the Center keeps ticket prices as low as possible, since they are a non-profit.  Community support helps the Center make ends meet.
