Savor the Central Coast tickets went on sale this week, and event organizers tell us the top selling ticket is the one for the Morro Bay Battle of the Bay event, hosted this year by the Food Network’s “Chopped” host, Ted Allen. Runaway interest in Morro Bay has led Savor to add a just-announced additional event: a tour of the Morro Bay Oyster Farm with owner Neal Maloney, enjoyed from aboard the luxury yacht Papagallo II … The “Happiest City in America” now has a shot at being named the friendliest town in America by Rand McNally and USA Today. The SLO Chamber is leading the charge to add a second national title to SLO’s trophy case. Online voting closes May 15. Skip the other four categories and click for “friendliest.” And yes, it’s legit to re-vote every day until the 15th … The recent Crosby, Stills and Nash concert at the PAC sold out in just a few hours and concertgoers were treated to a rocking three-hour extravaganza. A video crew captured every minute and the event is headed to DVD, cable TV or some combo of rebroadcast media. A photo shot by PAC supporter Bert Forbes (above) helped seal the deal to bring the band to SLO—the aesthetic value of the hall blew the producers away.
