The Spring Valley Historical Society invites the community to its Annual August Potluck Picnic, an outdoor event filled with food, fun, and friendly fellowship. This year’s gathering promises some special additions and a few changes. While the traditional raffle will not be held this year, attendees will have the opportunity to purchase plumeria starters in a variety of bloom colors. Prices will range from $10 to $35, depending on the size of the plant. Adding to the festive atmosphere, Programs Chair Nancy Hagan has arranged for live banjo music, offering a toe-tapping backdrop to the evening. Guests who play string instruments or harmonica are encouraged to bring them along and join in the merriment. The Society will provide grilled hot dogs and buns, along with condiments, water, and all necessary utensils. Guests are asked to bring a picnic-style side dish, salad, chips and dip, dessert, or any favorite dish to share with the group. The event is held outdoors, and attendees are reminded that a light breeze is typical during the evening hours, so they should dress accordingly for comfort. The potluck picnic is a long-standing tradition that brings together history lovers, neighbors, and local families in a celebration of community spirit and summer’s simple pleasures.

San Diego’s Back Pocket Whiskey Fellas have developed a reputation among local craft breweries, Irish Pubs and at numerous outdoor events for its rousing, crowd-pleasing, eclectic performances. Often incorporating and encouraging crowd participation, with a playlist that runs the gamut from Irish traditional, classic country, bluegrass, and classic rock, drawing a wide range of appeal for all ages. This eight piece acoustic band was founded in the summer of 2011 by San Diego rock band veterans: Jack Laux, Steve Hoshko, and George Davis, looking to explore the connections between Irish traditional and American roots, and infusing a rock band delivery, while still utilizing all acoustic instruments. The Fellas are proud to share that their third CD, "Third Flagon," has won the prestigious 2023 San Diego Music Awards’ “Best Local Recording”. The Fellas have all three of their albums, including "Second Pint and First Flask," available on Amazon and iTunes. They have their own music station featured on Pandora as well. 2024 will have the Fellas playing as many events, clubs, and music festivals as possible across the western U.S., hoping to share their music with as many fans as possible.
