Penitas Food Pantry is a local food pantry which currently serves over 400 families per month. The food pantry is a church operated, not-for-profit food pantry which depends 100 percent on your generous donations and volunteers to provide nutrition to people in need. Monies will be used to stock up the pantry to meet the growing needs of the community’s use of the pantry. EVR, and the other Martin parks, have always helped out the pantry by volunteering their time. In fact, volunteers helped the pantry construct a new, larger, building this past season to help better serve the community. The admission cost is $20 and allows you to stay all day to listen to music. The following entertainers are scheduled to perform: Curt James, Leslie Blasing, The Valley Girls, Tony Perez, The Howlers, Southern Harmony, CanAm and The Lockharts. All entertainers are volunteering their time and talent to the event. The park will also be serving food and beverages (soda and water). You are allowed to BYOB. If you have any questions regarding the event, please call Enchanted Valley Ranch at (956) 519-8597.
