Plenty of Fun in the Sun for Everyone! F ine art, classic cars, craft beer, award winning wines, delicious food, live music, dancing, dogs, a kids fun zone, and beautiful weather…what more could you ask for? The Scotts Valley Chamber and Festival Committee are very pleased to be celebrating another successful year with record attendance! This year’s Festival featured 107 artists — 55 artists that were new to our show, 30 additional classic cars, and the very popular local food cuisine! The Festival kicked off on Saturday with the Cops ‘N Rodders Car Show where over 100 vintage cars were on display. Musical
headliners during the weekend included The Joint Chiefs Band and the Eagles tribute band, Lyin’ I’s. Sunday was ‘Bring Your Dog Day’ which featured dog tricks and costume contests with KSBW’s Phil Gomez as the Master of Ceremonies. This year’s Kids Fun Zone, hosted by Building Kidz School of Scotts Valley and the Girls Scouts of the Coastal Redwoods and the Central California Council was packed all weekend with happy bouncing kids! This festival first began in 1999 as “Art Under the Oaks” and would later be renamed the “Scotts Valley Art & Wine Festival” in 2006. The format of the festival remained relatively the same throughout the years, centering on fine art and great local wines. In 2015 however, the festival was completely revamped and rebranded. The goal was to make it more family friendly and reflective of our community. The festival continues to focus on art and wines but we invited the local craft breweries to participate. In fact, we are very proud of the fact that this

200 Santa’s Village Road • Ribbon Cutting Ceremony 5:30 - 7 p.m. • Thursday, September 27
A
fter last month’s much anticipated model opening of The Grove, Scotts Valley, California’s live green builder, City Ventures, is hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its newest solar-powered, all-electric new homes community. The evening event, which the local Chamber of Commerce will be attending, takes place Thursday, September 27 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at the Scotts Valley Sales Office at 200 Santa’s Village Road just off the Santa Cruz Highway. The Grove is an exclusive collection of 50 sophisticated, solar-powered townhomes situated off a tree-line enclave. The spacious townhomes range from 1,629 to 1,693 square feet and have up to four bedrooms. They come complete with the latest conveniences and comforts, including energy-saving appliances, keyless entry, NEST smart thermostats and designer finishes. Two-car side by side garages are standard and are pre-plumbed for a future electric vehicle charger. The community should appeal to those who like to spend time outdoors. The Grove has its very own apple orchard as well as a
picnic area and select locations have a private patio, ideal for al fresco dining or just watching relaxing at the end of the day. There are lots to explore in the surrounding area, with its majestic redwood forests and Santa Cruz Mountains as a backdrop.

CAN OUR WATER SUPPLY SUPPORT SCOTTS VALLEY’S FUTURE? 245-Y Mt. Hermon Road Scotts Valley, CA (831) 438-1844 www.santacruzgold.com
Yes, if we continue to use water wisely. DID YOU KNOW?
Total groundwater pumping in the Scotts Valley area has decreased 46% from 2000. Since the early 2000s, groundwater levels have stabilized, following years of depletion. Despite anticipated population growth, Scotts Valley’s total water use in 2040 is estimated to be the same as in 1985 – well within the available supply.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
Efficient use of water by customers, combined with smart practices and technologies used by the District.
