Downtown Santa Cruz Events

Happy Monday!

 I am sure you know by know how much Heidi and I love our local community and do as much as we can to support it. With that being said, last week we had two amazing events (we either helped plan along with a committee or got to attend)  both showcasing the awesome downtown area we have here in Santa Cruz.

First was Cruzin' Courses, an annual celebration of women socializing together in downtown Santa Cruz. At its core is a strong commitment to the city itself, promoting the wonderful dining and shopping available, and supporting local treasures like our Museum of Art and History. Cruzin' Courses is a progressive dinner, where 60-70 women (dressed to the nines) stroll from course to course throughout the evening. Each year a different group of restaurants and shops are selected and work out sumptuous menus and special offers with the business owners to make the evening fabulous!

 Heidi and I had a blast and enjoyed meeting some new and amazing women as well and tearing up the dance floor with our good buddies at the end of the evening..

On Saturday The Downtown Association of Santa Cruz hosted it's 50th anniversary Gala at The Top of The Ritt.

With a Barber shop Quartet welcoming guests as they arrived to 7 come 11 opening up the evenings music to Lavay Smith and her Red Hot Skillet Lickers headlining the entire event we were covered in awesome entertainment!

The heavy hors d'œuvre were provided by The Red and they were fantastic! Our sweet and dashing handsome friend JP of  VinoCruz provided the bubby for guests to sip upon arrival. It was a lovely event and a wonderful success.
