2020: A Different Ball Game

Annual Testicle Festival Fundraiser: Take Out to Enjoy at Home

The Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee of the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau will be holding its 12th Annual Testicle Festival on Saturday, August 15th, 3:00-5:00pm.

In typical 2020 fashion, and due to Covid-19 restrictions, the event has been re-formatted from previous years. This year’s event will be a Take-Out Barbecue chicken dinner. Firefighter Derek Witmer and his crew will be barbequing the chicken.

The attendees will be treated to their own servings of Rocky Mountain Oyster appetizers while they are picking up their dinner. The popular local chef, Loretta Estrada, will be preparing the Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Loretta Estrada prepares the Rocky Mountain Oysters for the guests along with her grandson, Zach Estrada, and Karen Pisturino.

The price, which includes the rocky mountain oysters and full chicken barbeque dinner, is $50 for adults, and $30 for children. The event will have a raffle (pre-purchased tickets), online live and silent auction as well as a Cow Pie Bingo* contest for adults and children.

If you haven’t tried a rocky mountain oyster, now is the time! For more information, visit our website, www.Agri-Culture.us, or purchase tickets and sponsorships on www.eventbrite.com (search for “12th Annual Testicle Festival” in Watsonville).
