Montecito’s Village 4th Parade

Our town’s Annual Village 4 th Parade was a great success! The Montecito Association went to great efforts to have a car parade whose route included all the Montecito area schools and where most of the students lived, as well as Channel Drive. The parade was well

attended all along the parade route, lined with happy families, kids and pets waving flags and cheering, social distancing and wearing masks joking, honestly I am smiling!

The overcast morning gave way to a perfectly sunny day, as approximately 27 vehicles with their driver teams were checked in and lined up by the event co-chairs Mindy Denson, Kathi B. King and Trish Davis at Montecito Union School. Everyone was wearing patriotic face masks and social distancing was respected. CHP Captain Cindy Pontes briefed all the parade vehicle drivers on how the car parade was going to be done and what to watch out for along the route for safety. She and her team of newly appointed Lieutenant Grady Stevens and Sgt Jim Richards were the lead car.

At 11:30 am the parade commenced with a fly-over by five vintage planes in formation that came up from Butterfly Beach and flew directly over the parade start along San Ysidro Road, past MUS and onward into town. A huge thanks to pilot Michael Maloco, a 17-year Montecito resident and Montecito Association member who donated the fly over. Michael shared in a post parade interview with me, “All five aircraft are Beechcraft T-34 A & B Mentors made in 1955 – 1956, and restored to better than factory new and impeccably maintained, at no short expense. There were three A models that are ex-USAF aircraft and two B models built for the U.S. Navy. I piloted the lead aircraft in the formation and my pilot team are Jon Russell (Calabasas), Mike
