By all accounts, the recent Art, Wine & Wheels Festival in Mariposa was a rousing success.

The annual festival is organized by the Rotary Club of Mariposa Yosemite and takes place on the courthouse lawn. This is one of the group’s biggest fundraisers of the year.

The local Rotary Club provides many charitable services in the community, including distributing scholarships to local students graduating from high school.

The car show was added to the festival several years ago and has proven to be a major success. Many people enjoyed looking at the classic autos.
