For the first time in history the Santa Barbara Fair & Expo is expanding to two weekends, sparking the theme of “Double Thrill Double Fun” for the April 25-28 and May 3-5 springtime extravaganza.

I am glad that “Robert’s Big Questions” are published regularly in the weekly Montecito Journal.

The event is an old-fashioned day of fun with rides, games, raffles, food, entertainment, and more. The Carnival this year includes several mechanical rides including a 25-ft. […]
A familiar scene will soon be on full display at the Crane Country Day School campus. This coming Sunday, October 28, golden hay bales will dot the athletic fields, students in burlap sacks will bob and hobble toward a finish line, and the heady smell of barbecue will waft through the autumn air. Welcome to […]
