Now is the time to sign up for the parade, car show or a booth and take part in the annual Coulterville CoyoteFest, coming up on Saturday, Sept. 23.
The Car Show entry fee remains at just $25 through Aug. 1.

For those entering the parade using other means of transportation … feet, hoofs, tractor, or other vehicle, registration is just $10. Forms for both of these events as well as vendor applications can be downloaded on the coyotefest.org website, or you can fill it out there and even pay online.
