The Davis Dirt presents to all Davisites the 3rd Street Food Rodeo! This time with more entertainment, more seating, and more FOOD! On Friday, June 7th, we're closing off a block of 6th street (the corner of 6th and G by the Davis Food Co-op) to bring something delicious to the city we love - a roundup of the best street food vendors from our region. Here's what's cooking: Free admission, food trucks & carts, street performers, a beer garden by the Sudwerk Dock Store, and music! Plus, get your do-si-do on as the Sacramento Country Dance Society ([WWW]http://sactocds.org) leads us in a free Contra Dance with live music & caller! Stay tuned for the full lineup of all the vendors! Can it get any better? Oh wait, it can! This event is a fundraiser, with profits donated to the Davis School Garden Program! So grab your reusable dishware, some cash, your dancing shoes, and make your way to 6th and G St!

Attend and share our event page on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/events/217910131684076/) and on Yelp! ([WWW]http://www.yelp.com/events/davis-street-food-rodeo-3).

Unsolved Mysteries! Guesses and spoilers! - Older mystery pictures are saved and cataloged. Here are some helpful non-binding rules on what makes a good mystery picture.

Cute Animals Here it is, help out and make it look pretty.

Hints for Editing

A good place to start is by checking out the Davis Wiki Guide.

A Wiki is a linked set of pages that anybody can edit and contribute to if they have the time, access to internet, and a computer. [wikipedia]Wikipedia is the prime example of a successful wiki project. Also, check out [wiki]Why Wiki Works for some information on the philosophy of wiki.

If you want to practice editing you can play around in the Wiki Sand Box, or you may first want to check out our FAQ. We also have a list of All Pages in the wiki.

Feel free to make new pages! — and try to remember to link them. Also, if you don't know where to start or don't have any ideas, check out To Do.

To see the most recent edits made you can look at the Recent Changes page. Also, be sure to check your userpage as people will at times leave you comments on there.
