This year's Salad Bowl Festival is going to be even more amazing than last year! We had 1,200 people come through (Yes, we counted!) last year. So here are the new additions to this year's Salad Bowl Festival:
The Grease 'n Greens Car Show--This is an open show for all cars. Dash plaques will be given to all car registrants. Registration will be limited to first-come, first-serve as we are limited on space. The registration forms will be up on the website shortly so if you want to be notified of when and where, make sure you sign up to be notified of Salad Bowl Festival information. There will be three divisions--Judges Choice, People's Choice, and Mayor's Choice. The awards will be unique and one-of-a-kind, so you won't want to miss out! We are also working on a barbecue and cruise at the end of the evening. There will be a ton of things to see and do!
Salad Bowl Logo Contest: Time is running out on this! only eight--count them 8!--days left to turn in entries for the Salad Bowl Logo Contest. Please refer to rules on this website. Someone called me last Tuesday and asked if we had received their entry--and no, we haven't. So please make sure you send it to the correct address listed on the Artist Release Form. Remember, there is prize money for this, so get your entries in as soon as possible!
Skateboarding Demonstration: The skatepark is on its way to Guadalupe. (I keep asking for a tennis court--I am on the list, but not at the top. I can live with that.) We are celebrating with a Skateboarding Demonstration at the Salad Bowl Festival. It is sure to be a blast to watch! I think we need to bring out the Roller Derby Ladies as well. Hmmm...this could be very interesting!
Salad Dressing Contest: Calling all cooks! We are working on celebrity judges to judge the contest this year. Also, it will be open to the public to view the judging. However, we are unable to allow the public to taste the entries--health codes and all that stuff. We are excited to see what you come up this year!
Excellence in Agriculture (EIA) Award: Nomination Forms are on this website. Please get your nominations in by June 30th! The awards reception will be held at the historic Muse building in Guadalupe. This building is not open to the public, so we are really excited about being able to use it. We are having a retro, upscale 60's cocktail party--Madmen cool! We are even working on a super-secret, amazing cocktail for this event. I could give details, but you will have to wait to hear more about that. I can't wait for the mixing party. The EIA Award Reception will be on October 21st. Our major sponsors will be there and will be recognized as well.
And the race? YES, It is on! The return of the 10K and 5K Run/Walk will be the morning of the Salad Bowl Festival. The Guadalupe Sports Hall of Fame is working feverishly to get all the information to us, so we can get it to you, so you can get it back to us...For those of you who ordered shirts last year (because you registered late) your shirts will be here shortly. This year, if you register late and there are no shirts, you will be out of luck. Really...no late orders...really!
Cabbage Bowling: It's back. Blast those rabbits and gophers with a head of cabbage. Take that! And that! Loads of fun--and the cabbage goes to the goats in town--real goats. It makes them happy.
Sponsors: Yes, of course, we are still accepting sponsors. We are thrilled to have the following sponsors on board already: Apio, Ball Horticulture, New Times, The Sun, The Beat 95.7, Byrd, Defined Business Solutions, Guadalupe Cultural Arts & Education Center, Servwell Insurance Services, Rancho Harvest, Santa Maria Fairpark, and the Santa Barbara Foundation. There is plenty of room and time to add more to this list.
Finally, we are thrilled, pleased, and okay...we are really happy to announce that the proceeds from our event go to fund college scholarships for local kids. The scholarships are managed by the Santa Barbara Foundation within our parameters. The Salad Bowl Festival Committee is not responsible for picking the recipients. Our first scholarship will be given out in early 2012, so we can't wait to see who will be receiving the award(s).
Wow, that is a lot of information. Got questions? E-mail us, 'cause we got answers (for the most part).
We can't wait to see you at the Salad Bowl...Until then,
Greens to You,
