Sometimes all it takes is a fish and you’ve got a
festival. California salmon and how to save them is the focus of
the 17th annual Rivers Festival Feb. 7 to 9 at the Fort Mason
Center in San Francisco. Keynote speeches by Rep. George Miller,
D-Calif., writer and environmentalist Tim Palmer, and Cadillac
Desert author Marc Reisner will anchor three days of lectures and
workshops. When festival-goers tire of talk, there will be a
panoply of river-related gear to purchase or gawk at. Admission
starts at $5. For complete registration and workshop details call
Ethan Winston at 510/215-0101 or visit the Rivers Festival web site
