Offsite Visit us at the Lanford Days Activation in San Diego July 19- 20! The replica of Roseanne’s local hometown festival is free and open to the public. You can play carnival games, win prizes, eat the Lanford Lunch Box Diner’s famous loose meat sandwiches and enjoy the atmosphere. Famed San Diego country/rock singer-songwriter Sara Petite, whose spot-on impersonation of Loretta Lynn has gained widespread attention, will be playing the role of Loretta Lynn at Lanford Days, July 20-21 in San Diego’s Gaslamp District. Petite has built an award-winning career with songs that owe as much to the rock & roll roadhouse as they do the honky-tonk. She has earned a wide range of accolades — including Top 40 success on the Americana charts, international airplay, and more than a half-dozen trophies from the San Diego Music Awards. Lanford Days is based on an iconic episode of ROSEANNE (season 5, episode 15), when the festival appeared in the episode featuring Country-Western legend Loretta Lynn, including a memorable duet with Roseanne over the closing credits. Throughout the two-day festival, which is free and open to the public, activation scenes from Episode 15 will be recreated as if you are right there in the action with our actors - Roseanne, Dan, Darlene, DJ and others, recreating the magic that millions of viewers experienced watching this episode. Lanford Days will be open from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, July 20-21, at 6th & E in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. The Lanford Lunch Box on Facebook

Drop by San Diego Craft Collective on July's First Friday for a fun DIY, sustainable crafting experience. The theme for July is buttons & since we're all about sustainable living and crafting at the Craft Collective, this month we'll explore how to sew on a button! There are a variety of ways to sew on a button, so grab an item from home that needs fixing and pop in July 7 for some mending magic. It's time to re-style, re-dazzle, &/or mend those buttoned clothes that need some simple, hands-on love. And, we'll have plenty of fabric, needles and buttons on-hand in case you'd prefer to come learn and practice on ours instead. Free to the public and open to all ages! If you have kids in tow that day, be sure to save a spot for our free Kids Craft -- Button Art from 5 - 6p.m. Kids will use their imaginations and create with paper, yarn, glue and buttons! Each month the children's craft changes, so pop in while you're visiting and get crafty!
