The ninth annual Fiesta Ranchera, a fundraiser cohosted by Old Spanish Days in Santa Barbara and the Goleta Valley Historical Society, brought out nearly 1,000 supporters to the picturesque grounds of Rancho La Patera & Stow House in Goleta.
Guests mingled while sampling generous tastings from 37 food and beverage purveyors and enjoying classic fiesta melodies and contemporary tunes by Tony Ybarra. In keeping with the Ranchera theme, many attendees opted for western attire, while some donned elegant Fiesta dresses.
El Presidente J.C. Gordon and his beautiful wife, Jamie, were on hand to greet Fiesta supporters. Gordon noted that Fiesta Ranchera “is an event we look forward to each year as it brings Fiesta out to Goleta, which has strong historical ties to Fiesta.”
