The route traverses extraordinary scenery and geologic phenomena and links the four notable volcanoes in this part of the continent.  “It’s a town that so many people pass through to get to larger areas.  We recognize the importance of historical cities like Weed and feel it is our responsibility to secure its place on the map,” says Sylvia Massy.  “Without support from the general public, towns like Weed, CA are easily dismissed, making the 4&20 Blackbird Festival crucial to its survival.”=0D=0A=0D=0AProceeds from last year’s festival went toward the purchase of a street clock that now resides on Main Street as a symbol of the cities endurance and staying power.
