Avo and margs

This weekend brings an event I'm really looking forward to, featuring two of my favorite things -- the inaugural Morro Bay Avocado and Margarita Festival.

It takes place on the Embarcadero, in the parking lot across from Rose's Landing, from 11 am-6pm, and admission is free.

There's a best guacamole contest, a best avocado-recipe competition, many flavors of margaritas, music, 30 local avocado growers and more.

For kids, there will be a best decorated avocado contest, stickers, coloring books and “Cali,” the six-foot mascot of the California Avocado Commission, who will have avocado scoopers and recipe books for the adults.

I'll be there, hoping to find some new ways to enjoy these two favored indulgences of mine.
