Greetings!
We are looking forward to April and all the spring activities to come. This month marks the start of event season and the holidays, with Easter happening this weekend, followed by Lagerville, Earth Day, and our annual Brew Fest kicking off May.
Please note, our newsletters may ask you to "click to view the entire message." This message will appear near the bottom and if you click, you will continue to see more information, events and news until you reach the end. There's a lot to share, so make sure you read to the end.
This coming Saturday, April 4th, we will be holding our annual valley-wide shred day. It all kicks off in Buellton, in the parking lot at City Hall at 8am. See the complete flyer below in this month's newsletter.
Please help us in welcoming 4 new members this month: Jersey Mike's, Restaurant Plus, Valley Woodwork, and Fortaleza Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We are honored to have them join our Chamber and look forward to learning more about them and visiting their businesses.
The Buellton Farmer's Market is off to a great start! If you haven't been yet, please mark your calendars and plan to attend next week. It takes place on Monday, with a new time 3-7pm, so grab a friend and head down to the Avenue of Flags. They have everything from produce, flowers, pet food, steak, seafood, honey, lavender, food trucks, plants, and so much more! Mondays just got a lot better!
We had a very successful Wine & Chili Festival in March and want to thank everyone who came out to volunteer, participate, support and sponsor. It was a great event and the weather was beautiful, maybe a little warm for Chili, but our guests didn't seem to mind. Now we're gearing up for our Annual Buellton Brew Fest. We are still accepting sponsors, volunteers, vendors and more. See the links further down in this month's newsletter.
We are currently working on our April mixer. We've had to reschedule the date and are working on the location. We plan to showcase our hospitality industry at this mixer. Please stay tuned as we confirm the details.
Also, save the date for the Buellton State of the City. May 20th at the Santa Ynez Valley Marriott. We are working on these plans as well, so stay tuned.
If you have anything you would like to share with our Chamber, please feel free to send it over and we'll get it in our next newsletter.
We hope to see you around and please join us for our upcoming events. Thank you for your continued support!

UVA Design Studio
Uva is the Spanish word for grape, a fruit that grows abundantly at the many wineries spread across our home base in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley in California. Small, powerful, and versatile, the grape inspires our work. Natural, organic, and fresh, nothing we create is pre-made or pre-set. It's a natural extension of our marketing expertise and passion for helping your business reach its potential. Just as wine results from a combination of soil, sun, vine, and time, we believe that partnering with you allows our work to yield the richest fruit. For us, partnership and performance are fundamental to everything we do.
Uva is a full-service agency that understands the power of strategic design and branding in shaping how your business is perceived.
We believe that it’s not just about decorative packaging; it’s about crafting a compelling narrative that resonates with your audience
and elevates your brand.

| | | | A NEW Mixer Structure for 2026 | |
Introducing Quarterly Mixers
We are looking to host mixers on a quarterly basis in the New Year. We understand you all have businesses to run and time can be limited, so we hope this schedule will be more accommodating and we hope to see more of you on a quarterly basis.
We will be focusing on themes at each of our Mixers. The following are tentative ideas we will be highlighting at our Mixers:
- Quarter 1 - February 18th (Health & Wellness)
- Quarter 2 - April -Date TBA (Hospitality)
- Quarter 3 - July 15th (Business Services)
- Quarter 4 - October 21st (70th Anniversary Celebration for the Chamber)
We are actively looking for hosts for these mixer dates, so if you are interested in showcasing your business, please reach out to our office and let us know. We tend to do the third Wednesday of the month to not conflict with neighboring Chambers and events. Our mixers take place from 5-7pm and our hosts usually provide wine/beer and small bites, but you are welcome to partner with our other members to co-host with you.
It's a great way to highlight your business and invite our members in.
We're looking forward to this new structure and schedule, so please stay tuned as we follow up with details about each mixer.
*Please note the month that we have special events, we will most likely not have a mixer.
Call our office: (805)688-7829 or kathy@buellton.org

Santa Barbara County will again be participating in the National Light Up Green campaign in recognition of 2026 May as Mental Health Awareness Month. Will your buildings be participating this year?
About the Light up Green campaign:
Buildings throughout Santa Barbara County will be joining buildings across the U.S. in lighting up green during Mental Health Month in May, to help spread awareness. If your building(s) is(are) planning to light up green in May, please let us know the name of your building that will be lit by emailing Suzanne Grimmesey at suzkirk@sbcbwell.org or Jenny Bruell at jbruell@sbcbwell.org.
Buildings lighting up green will receive lawn signs (images attached) to display throughout May, and your building will be placed on the state list where participating buildings will be recognized by the National Mental Health America office. To be recognized by the National office, please let us know your building name and address by April 9, 2026.
As Behavioral Health Ambassadors within the community, you play an enormous role in helping to break the stigma of mental illness, promote conversations and help those needing support to reach out. Please help spread the word so we can get as many buildings as possible to Light up Green during the month of May as a huge community effort to raise mental health awareness throughout the county.

Tips for this Month:
April
Stormwater Tip of the Month:
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to mean throwing everything away. Visit the Less Is More website to find
out how to reduce, reuse, and recycle. This resource helps you find ways to reduce your trash, look for
ways to reuse or repair items that still function, and explore recyclable items that can't go into your blue
bin.
Water Conservation Tip of the Month:
Spring cleaning? Skip the hose and grab a broom instead! Sweep sidewalks, driveways, patios, and
other surfaces to remove leaves and debris without wasting water. Dry-cleaning methods also help
prevent yard waste from clogging storm drains or polluting waterways. Find more water-saving tips on
the County of Santa Barbara’s Water Wise website.
