Garlic Country USA: What happens when you combine country music theaters, stores, restaurants and a hotel in Gilroy, California? Good guess! The first park dedicated to an herb! Promising 5,000 jobs, 5.5 million visitors, and annual gross sales of $750 million, it looks to be a more profitable venture on the 182 acres than growing garlic! Projected completion date is 1996, so maybe we could hold a GSF convention out there towards the end of the century.
