Alamo residents turned out for a good time Saturday at the 26th annual Wine and Music Festival, presented by Alamo Rotary.
At the festival, Rotary named the 2008 Alamo Citizen of the Year – Alisa Corstorphine. She is editor of Alamo Today and was lauded for working quietly behind the scenes to contribute to the betterment of Alamo.
The festival ran from 2 p.m. until 11 p.m., and benefits music programs in the schools. During the day, music was provided by the Alamo Elementary School Choir, Stone Valley Middle School Jazz Band and both San Ramon Valley and Monte Vista high schools bands.
The nighttime entertainment featured the Fabulous Cruise Tones, and festivalgoers danced into the night, enjoying pleasant temperatures after a scorching day.
