RIPON is the “Almond Capital”. I grew up there, class of ‘67. The first Almond Blossom Festival was held in 1961, and in the parade my three sisters and I won First Prize trophy with Hula Hoops on our own little trailer. How times have changed. One of my sisters and her husband have called Oakdale “home” for many years.
I look at that group of kids walking towards the camera 3:00 and if any of 'em are still here, the youngest would be 90 plus in age. Time waits for no one.
I do not remember Oakdale being "The City of Almonds" I remember it being "The Cowboy Capital, or "The Rodeo Capital of the World" or something like that. Nearby Riverbank was "The City of Action" where literally NOTHING ever happened and dancing was illegal as late as 1980,, but im pretty sure it was 85 before the law was changed.
I don’t recall the almond reference either (born/lived there ‘58-‘78). The entrance to town from Hwy 120 has the nice sign “OAKDALE the West at its best”. 👍
I went K-12 in the Oakdale school system. It wasn’t until around JR High (1971-72) that girls were allowed to wear pants/jeans. Prior to that, the only day of the school year they could wear pants was on Friday before the annual Oakdale Rodeo weekend.

My family, the Stuarts and the Colemans helped found Oakdale. They planted the first Almond Orchards.
I wish this had sound.
