Mark your calendars and plan to join us. Here are a few key dates, but please continue to read on as there are many other things taking place too and you'll find more details about these events further down.
November 13th we will be co-hosting a Valley-wide Chamber Mixer at Kaena Wines. We'll be announcing the Harvest Cup winner for the Scarecrow Fest and networking with our neighboring Chamber members. We hope you all can join us for this valley-wide celebration.
November 20th we will be celebrating the grand opening of the "Catio" at the SYV Humane Society. This great new space for their furry feline friends will be on display for all to see. Come help us celebrate.
November 22nd we will be heading to Olivera's Auto Repair and Tire to help showcase their new customer showroom and lounge. They'll have hot dogs, bounce house, prizes and more. Be sure to check out the details further down in this month's newsletter.

Even though we are just heading into November, we know December is right around the corner and we're gearing up for our Breakfast with Santa and the Buellton Winter Fest. We're bringing back 20 tons of snow and this year we will be lighting a new live tree that has been planted by the City at River View Park.
Please continue to scroll through this month's newsletter as we provide, times, dates, locations and more to all that is coming up.
Get out and enjoy and we wish you all the best for a wonderful, safe, and Happy Thanksgiving.

The Catio that the SYV Humane Society is just completing is an indoor/outdoor live-play space for their cats. It’s step one in a longer term remodeling and expansion project for the office spaces, reception area, dog kennels and playgrounds all of which will benefit the animal and staff and, therefore, the community in creating a more user-friendly facility.

SBCAG is inviting proposals to plan, design, and complete environmental work for the Santa Ynez Valley River Trail Project over the next few years.
The goal is to work with each community to identify a preferred alignment and complete environmental work for a new nine-mile multipurpose path connecting Buellton on the west to the Highway 246/Highway 154 intersection on the east in unincorporated Santa Barbara County.
The effort will also include completing the design for the Buellton segment and developing the concept design for the route outside the Buellton city limits. SBCAG is leading the effort in partnership with the City of Buellton, City of Solvang, County of Santa Barbara, Caltrans Central Coast (District 5) and the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians.
The work builds on years of regional planning and community interest to expand active transportation options, improve access to recreation areas, and link Santa Ynez Valley communities through a safe and scenic route.
Deadline is 4 p.m. Nov. 24, learn more: https://bit.ly/4hqxKTC

Tips for this Month:
NOVEMBER
Stormwater Tip of the Month:
Colorful falling leaves can be a beautiful sight to see, but those leaves can clog storm drains and pipes
and cause flooding when it rains. Be sure to avoid blowing leaves into the street. Instead, rake or
sweep them up. Leaves can be disposed of in green waste bins, composted, or used as mulch in the
garden. Visit your City’s Stormwater Management webpage (Buellton or Solvang) to see what days
your streets are swept and to learn more about stormwater pollution prevention.
Water Conservation Tip of the Month:
Direct rainwater runoff from rooftops and paved surfaces to landscaped areas to reduce irrigation needs.
Consider installing rain barrels to collect and reuse rainwater. For more ideas, visit your City’s Water
Conservation webpage (Buellton or Solvang) or the County of Santa Barbara’s Water Wise website.

Let's Link Up!
