Sal Del Mar

The Stars of a Recent Filming for Public Access TV

Not sure what the name of the program is, we believe the theme is Montecito Living on channel 17 and, of course, we don’t know when it will air. If they buy the pilot and there is a second episode, we will definitely get the details. We arrived late for the first shooting.

July 4th Montecito Parade

Another July 4th Parade has come and gone. Difficult to say if this was the best one ever or a strong contender.

The myriad of floats, mostly very well preserved antique cars dressed up with red, white and blue bunting and American flags, were certainly there carrying various dignataries and luminaries.

There was a large and appreciative audience as well as two firetrucks and a smartly decorated American ambulance vehicle in attendance.

The event went off without a hitch, none of the cars burst into flames and no one required medical attention. The parade route followed its traditional path – the vehicles coasting a few hundred feet down San Ysidro and into the park below.

The general consensus after the event was that this had been the finest parade yet.
