Thank you, Mike Luery and KCRA 3 for visiting the Mandarin Marketplace this Sunday at the Gold Country Fairgrounds in Auburn.

If you missed the in-person event, you can still virtually shop all things mandarin at: www.mandarinfestival.com

Concerns over COVID have forced a popular event in Placer County to change the way it does business. The Mandarin Marketplace used the sweetness of oranges to try and erase some of the bitterness from this year of the coronavirus.
