At long last, here's the California Dreamin' blog! We hope you find this blog a fun and easy way to keep track of what is happening here in California as preparation continues for the big event next April. We will be checking in frequently to see what topics we need to start on caravanning, events, whatever you need. We still have a number of areas on the left side that need updating, and it is truly a work in progress... and then there's the fact that we're all new to blogging - pretty much learning as we go! If you have any suggestions for how we can make it better, just give us a holler. This is your event and we want to make it the best week we can.

Hey....how often will you be updating the list of attendees? It's so exciting to see who I get to see again and who I get to meet!!
Good idea Christa....maybe we should create a new category under the Registration button where you can post your name/number/state when you send your deposit and registration form.
This is SOOO cool! I was raised in SoCal and can't wait to visit old hang-outs!Thanks for ALL the HARD work you have done! And the music is GREAT!! Talk about memories!
Margo plans on updating the Sisters Coming To Ventura list, and sorting it by state, then sister name & number!
Shoulda known you'd be all over that suggestion Joyce! Sure would love to see more Sisters posting here, looks like lots of them have been visiting the Blog.
Very Wonderful! I am even more excited about this event because the Mother Team has asked me to head up the Surfing Fishing Event!
WhoooHoooooo!
Can't wait to share this part of the coast and surf fishing with you all!
Great Blog!
As a former SOCAL sister, I am trying my darndest to be able to attend...keep your fingers crossed for me.
>^..^<
If I had one wish, it would be to share this day with all my Sisters!

OK girls, we've extended the deadline for registration to December 10. Get those forms and deposit checks in the mail, we want to see you on the beach in Ventura next April.
California Dreamin’ Update
Wow, California Dreamin’ is only 3 months from now, and we are having so much fun planning this event for all of you. Here is an explanation of some of the events taking place and other information about where we will be and what we’ll be doing.
Registration:
The deadline for your final payment is February 14. We may be able to take additional registrations after this date, but it will be depend on availability. So don’t hesitate to ask if you think you will be able to come; we will try to accommodate everyone.
Rhinestone Cowgirl Cocktail Party:
This takes place on Sunday evening at a local venue where we will enjoy drinks and very substantial appetizers. The attire for the evening is as much Cowgirl BLING as you can wear: Rhinestone ear rings, necklaces, tiaras, sequins, whatever strikes your fancy. Make your wardrobe as over-the-top as you can, it is so much fun! There will be prizes given for the most outrageous getup.
Cowgirl Pajama Party:
One evening during the week we will have a pajama party after dinner. Wear your craziest cowgirl pajamas/nightgowns/whatever it is you sleep in, or not. We will have judges and be awarding prizes. Another silly event to keep us all laughing.
Bike Rides:
Be sure to bring your bicycles. Molly #190 and Katie #189 have volunteered to lead some rides on the bike paths that run along the beach and others that climb a trail into the hills and on to Ojai for those who have the stamina for more difficult terrain.
Show ‘n Shine:
This will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday. We have invited the public to visit us and our trailers. Donations will be accepted from the public and given to the local Parkinson’s Disease Foundation. Participation is not required. If you don’t want to open your trailer for viewing and stick around, that’s perfectly fine. We know many of you enjoy showing off your trailers and talking about them and Sisters On The Fly and we’re hoping we’ll have a big turnout for this event.
Raffles:
We will continue to sell raffle tickets throughout the week. Drawings will be held at breakfast and dinner every day. There will be a separate drawing for two major gifts that will be announced once we’re all in Ventura.
All of this is in addition to the Amtrak to Santa Barbara, the Reagan Library, the surf fly fishing demonstration and fishing trip for those who have signed up, the wonderful shopping and restaurants available within a few blocks of our camp on the beach. There are sailboat trips to the Channel Islands and deep sea fishing available to those who want to do that on their own, and so much more. You can be as busy as you like, or just hang out at the campground and relax and visit with your Sisters during this trip. It's your event, do what you like....as long as it's legal that is. hehehe
