What do a Sunset Magazine pastry chef, an iconic Los Osos photo and Toptracer data have in common?
To raise funds to pay for damages to the Los Osos Valley Road median caused by a single-car accident, Celebrate Los Osos is teaming up with the South Bay Community Center and Paul Irving of Big Big SLO to put on the first of a series of three events called “Unity in the Community.” The first show takes place Sunday, September 3 from 2 to 6 p.m. The concert lineup is the Bobby Santa Cruz Band featuring Linda Martin of Back Bay Betty with the opening set of Bay Love. There will be dancing, BBQ, wine, beer and non-alcoholic refreshments.
There will also be a fundraising auction of uncommon items, hence the three people walk into a bat intro above.
