The event will take place at the Shannon’s Rolling Knolls ranch in Lower Lake.
The purpose of the event is to raise funds for the Discovery Center Project at Anderson Marsh State Park, which will be built at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park within the next two to four years. The project is a joint venture between the Children’s Museum of Art and Science (CMAS) and the Anderson Marsh Interpretative Association (AMIA).
The concept for this 10,000 square foot facility, which will house a museum, classroom and outdoor amphitheater has already been approved in concept by the California Department of Parks.
“Funds from the benefit barbecue will be used for grant writing and other expenses directly related to the Discovery Center Project,” said Carolynn Jarrett, CMAS president. “CMAS and AMIA are deeply grateful to Clay and Margarita Shannon for providing us with this opportunity to share our vision and promote the Discovery Center Project.”
Tickets to the event can be purchased for $50 and include a barbecue dinner, silent auction, music by the “Hot Frittatas” and a VIP pass to the Lake County Old Time Blue Grass Festival, which takes place on Sept. 13 and 14 at the Anderson Marsh State Historic Park.

Earlier this year, Clay Shannon acquired the Rolling Knolls vineyard from the Greer family, who owned the property since 1992. The vineyard is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Petite Sirah and Sauvignon Blanc, which Shannon will farm and plans to sell to selected wineries. Rolling Knolls vineyard will be sourced for future vintages of the Shannon Ridge wines.
The property backs up to the Anderson Marsh wetlands and park, which is public land owned by the state of California and accessible to visitors.
