DESCRIPTION: An afternoon of music, food and a silent auction will raise funds for the 
 Waldo Holt San Joaquin Wildlife Conservancy, which preserves the wild lands 
 of San Joaquin County for future generations to enjoy.\n\nDirk Hamilton, 
 Stringin' Along and the Water Brothers will play the afternoon away on 
 Saturday, May 30th at 3536 Rainier Ave., Stockton on the south bank of the 
 Calaveras River. The event begins at noon and will feature good food and 
 beverages as well as a silent auction with an environmental theme. All 
 proceeds go to the Waldo Holt Conservancy, an organization working to 
 procure land to be kept in a wild state in the name of Stockton 
 conservationist and environmentalist Waldo Holt, who died in 
 2007.\n\nTickets are $25 and can be purchased in advance at Empresso 
 Coffeehouse in the Empire Theater on Pacific Avenue in Stockton, or at the 
 Blackwater Café, 912 N. Yosemite St., Stockton. Tickets are also available 
 at the gate for the same price.\n\nHamilton's band will offer music from 
 his newest CD, "More Songs from My Cool Life," a 12-song chronicle of 
 diverse experiences from childhood through the raising of his own children, 
 as well as colorful imaginings and pointed commentaries about life in 
 America, past and present. It showcases Hamilton's musical and lyrical 
 panache, as well as his comic side.\n\nThe Waldo Holt Conservancy is 
 committed to protecting the many places where wild animals and native 
 plants still thrive in San Joaquin County. "Ironically, many of those 
 moving into new subdivisions here do so partly because of the beautiful 
 river-delta, grassland and habitat friendly farmland we hope to preserve," 
 said Marj Fries, the "chief" of the board of directors for the 
 group.\n\n"We are currently working to acquire a lovely 4.65-acre piece of 
 riparian habitat land on the Mokelumne River, which we hope to buy in 
 partnership with the County Parks Department, and donate as an annex of the 
 Woodbridge Wilderness Area, where it will be open for hiking, bird-watching 
 and fishing, undeveloped except for unpaved foot trails. We have earmarked 
 this property to be publicly dedicated to Waldo Holt," she said.\n\n
