BCA SOCIAL
July 7th, 2011
It doesn’t get more social than a new baby, and that’s just what BCA’s Scott Morrell and family provided for us for this week’s lead story. Welcome, Landon Morrell, a healthy 9-pound-plus little guy who joins siblings Cooper, Sadie, Claire and Chloe and beaming parents Heather and Scott in making the Morrells a seven pack. That’s big sister Sadie cuddling her new baby bro. Congratulations and love to all.

SEEN & HEARD

The SF Travel Association is literally rolling through town the next couple of days. Keep your eyes out for a motorized trolley carrying a group headed to Morro Bay, SLO Farmers’ Market and on to Pismo Beach. The VCB is helping make it happen … What do you get when you combine 35 gallons of ice cream and 100 pans of brownies? If you’re the famous Doc Burnstein’s in Arroyo Grande, the answer is a 300-pound ice cream sandwich with sights set on scooping the title “World’s Biggest” at the Arroyo Grande Centennial Celebration Block Party this Sunday. 1,600+ devotees can sample history and support Boy Scout Troop 413 starting at 4:30 that afternoon … And by the way, ConocoPhillips is hosting the celebration concert that afternoon … Morro Bay stepped up its 4th of July festivities with a Sunday Skateboard race that saw the world record for a one mile course get smashed to smithereens with a time of 3:43 (old time was 4:03). And on Monday, the fun continued with a second annual bike parade that had hundreds of pedalers including kids, dogs, adults and more than a few Uncle Sams. Kudos to all the communities who gave us holiday celebrations … Apropos of nothing but we think it’s interesting: this year July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays – an alignment that happens once every 823 years.

LOCAL BEAT
July 7th, 2011
Animals everywhere: this Saturday morning the Charles Paddock Zoo is bringing critters to Atascadero’s Galaxy Theatres to stir up some fun ahead of a special 9 a.m. screening of Zookeeper. Proceeds from the PG rated Kevin James movie will help support the zoo’s red panda exhibit. Tickets for the 9 a.m. show are $8 … Betsey Nash is taking her finely honed HR skills and putting them to work in a new position – HR Manager for Strasbaugh, the industry-leading technology manufacturing company located on Buckley Road in SLO … Word is travelling on the skills and presentation savvy of Brian Trapp. First Morro Bay, then Paso and now on to Arroyo Grande to talk marketing. The BCA business developer is next addressing members of the Arroyo Grande Chamber, noon on Friday, July 22 … Cyndi Silva is the ever amazing go-to financial whiz who handles the books for a number of clients, including the SLO and Arroyo Grande Chambers of Commerce. She had serious surgery on June 15 and barely two weeks later filed year-end financials that closed the books for the chambers. A daunting task under normal circumstances, but business as usual for this fireball. Congrats, and now take it easy, would ya?
