Admission to the Fair is $10 for Seniors and $15 for Adults. Parking is tight at the fair, and locations of remote lots and shuttles can be found here: Free Shuttles and Parking

Dress code for the club is “Santa Barbara Casual,” which suggests nice pants/jeans and a Polo/ golf (collared) shirt for the gentlemen and equivalent for the ladies. We suggest leaving the flip flops and stiletto heels at home if you plan to participate in the tradition of divot stomping on the pitch during the break.

TGIT, Social Tap, Ventura, July 20, 4 – 6 pm

It’s summer and what a better way to celebrate the season than a TGIT at Social Tap followed by a stroll on the beach. Rebecca is having us meet up there on July 20th, 4 – 6 pm. Social Tap is located at 1105 S Seaward Ave, Ventura CA 93001.

The owners of Social Tap have developed the concept only knowing the restaurant business from the customer side of the table. Their vision is to focus on customer service, great food using high quality ingredients, creative cocktails & an emphasis on local craft beer. Everything that comes out of the Social Tap kitchen is scratch made, from their signature sandwiches, braised tacos or wing sauces. It is their firm belief that great food is the foundation to a restaurant’s identity, therefore they don’t cut corners.

You can view their menu here: Social Tap Menu

After the TGIT happy hour, we’ll take a stroll on the beach and enjoy the fresh ocean air, so bring a wrap in case it is chilly!

Hope to see you there!
