50 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
PLEASE NOTE: We have been asked by a few club members if children under the age of 18 may attend this event. Unfortunately, our club Policies and Procedures state that anyone under the age of 18 is not permitted to attend our events. This is due to insurance liability. We are an adult social club. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Have you heard the details about Old Spanish Days Fiesta taking place August 5-9? It is a BIG DEAL here in Santa Barbara. Celebration of the Spanish Heritage takes place all over town in the way of dancing, singing, music, great food and drinks! Oh, and one of the biggest parades to grace the streets of SB!
We have the distinct pleasure to participate in one of the BIGGEST events during fiesta! As a club we come together at the SB Carriage and Western Art Museum and help decorate old historic carriages with beautiful floral arrangements. All of the flowers are donated by local floral companies and we have a warehouse full of them to pick from for our tasks!
The SB Newcomers Club
has participated in this
event for over 20 years!
Now it is your turn to enjoy an evening of friendship, good food, lovely drinks and putting your talents together to make something magical! All of the floral arrangements will be attached to the historic carriages at the SB Carriage & Western Art Museum and then the carriages will be drawn by horses/mules down State St. on Friday, 8/7, during the Fiesta Parade!
A scrumptious Mexican dinner will be served accompanied by delicious margaritas! Once we have had time to socialize and fill our bellies, we will get down to a true working event.
Please plan to bring a folding chair, hand-pruners, perhaps gloves (if you feel the need), a jacket (we will be working outside into the evening), work clothes (plan to get down and dirty), comfortable shoes made for standing for a few hours, and your creative fun attitude!
You will truly love this event and will talk about it with all your friends back in your old home town! They will be so envious of your new life here in SB!
PLEASE REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT!
