SUMMER DAZE IN CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA

CAR WEEK IS HERE!!

We’re in the “heat of the summer”, but here on the Monterey Peninsula luckily we’re not melting or sweltering like some people are not that far from here. So if you need to get cool, c’mon down to Carmel or Pacific Grove and feel the cool ocean breezes and comfortable temperatures.  AND see lots of amazing cars like this fabulous red Ferrari that was exhibited last year in the ‘Prancing Ponies” event.

Prancing Ponies!

Last year among the many car events Prancing Ponies Car Show was complete with Breakfast at Tiffany’s, a fashion show and an array of Ferrari’s and other beautiful cars owned by Women – all to benefit the Prancing Ponies non-profit to raise money to support the education of low income women. Put August 17th on your calendar to attend this year. You can purchase a VIP ticket to support the charity or come for free and enjoy the cars and fashion show. Go to www.prancingpoinies.org  to register.

Have fun!!

HAPPY Labor Day FROM CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA!

Best wishes for a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!  Hope you can take some time off to enjoy with family and friends.  Traditionally Labor Day has been the harbinger of summer ending, however, on the Monterey Peninsula our Indian summer is just beginning and is usually our best weather of the year.  

The Monterey Peninsula had an exciting August with “Car Week” front and center mid month.  Thousands of people enjoyed the amazing cars displayed and there was something for everyone from classic cars, muscle cars, sports cars, racing cars, and cars that reminded us of our youth.  I attended Prancing Ponies Car Show August 18th as a VIP guest and enjoyed Breakfast at Tiffany’s chatting with all the fabulous women car owners who were showing their cars, and an amazing fashion show!

This incredible show was all coordinated by Chanterria McGilbra, the founder and executive director of Prancing Ponies Foundation, a non-profit whose mission is to “Create Women Leaders One Girl At A Time” working with low income women helping them to succeed.

The Morning Beach ~ Delia Bradford

Another fun event for a very good cause was the Hearts of Carmel CA Unveiling Reception 2022.  Delia Bradford is shown here in front of the Carmel library with the heart she painted named “The Morning Beach”.  Seven local artists painted beautiful scenes on 7 hearts that are displayed around Carmel-by-the-Sea and are being auctioned off.  Carmel Foundation, a non-profit for our seniors,  will be one of the beneficiaries of this fundraiser.  Click on the link below to experience this fun event
