Thank you to everyone in the community who joined us at the Rancho La Patera and Stow House in Goleta for Backyard Brunch! We got to enjoy a sunny spring day outdoors playing lawn games, jamming to live music, and enjoying delicious sips and bites from all around Santa Barbara.
With everything from coffee and waffles to wine, beer, pastries, sliders, ice cream, and more, our in-kind food sponsors brought out the best of their menus for our brunch-goers. With our staff, sponsors, and you, our community, in tow, we were able to show a great outpouring of support for Backyard Brunch and for our Mickey Flacks Journalism Fund.
The Brasscals gave shout-outs to Mickey and the Flacks family in between their jazzy takes on today’s hits and classic favorites, and attendees were able to take home a tote bag from MindGarden in support of the Independent, which featured two custom-made designs with the spirit of our social justice reporting in mind. And we added to the fun as we tossed bags for cornhole, scored high in ladderball, and bounced through a few rounds of spikeball.
