The Shoppes at Carlsbad is marking Veterans Day with an event designed to support local military members, veterans and their families. From 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday, November 11, the mall will host several community partners and activities all geared around the message of "Thank You" to our local military and veterans community: Quilt Silent Auction Program: El Camino Quilt Guild, North San Diego County's Premier Quilting Guild, will host a silent auction offering 15 stunning and individually crafted quilts focused around themes of patriotism and more. All 15 quilts will be on display and available for bid until 4 p.m. All proceeds from the quilt silent auction will benefit Operation Homefront, whose mission is to build strong, stable and secure military families so they can thrive, not simply struggle to get by, in the communities they have worked so hard to protect. During the event Operation Homefront will host an information table with details on the support and resources the organization offers for military families including upcoming holiday program opportunities. The El Camino Quilt Guild works to promote interest in all forms of quilting, to inspire and encourage quilt making and collecting and to gain knowledge of quilting techniques, patterns and history through educational meetings and friendship. Foundation for Women Warriors Clothing Drive: The local chapter of this national organization will be accepting new and gently used clothing and accessories for female veterans and their families. The clothing drive is part of the foundation's Professional Development effort, which improves the resilience and self-sufficiency of women veterans, so they are best equipped to provide stability and success for themselves, their families and their communities. Entertainment: The mall is also hosting several family-friendly entertainment activities during the day, including a photo opportunity wall, live music, balloon artist and free face painter (12 - 3 p.m.). "We truly cannot do enough to thank and support our veteran and military communities here in San Diego County," said Ramon Oseguera, senior general manager at The Shoppes at Carlsbad. "We are thrilled to welcome local partners to offer so many ways for our guests to give back and honor these neighbors as well," he added. All activities are centered around the Carlsbad Wall (lower level near H&M). Event details will be listed here. Connect with Shoppes at Carlsbad on Social Media! Facebook & Instagram

MandoBasso is both the name of their duo and the name of their first album. Bill Bradbury plays the mandolin. Gunnar Biggs plays the bass. Together they play MandoBasso music. Crazy-quilt music. At its core is American country music, the kind heard floating on Smokey Mountain mists from the front porch of holler cabins. It's like a sip from the dipper of water drawn fresh from the well. But listen some more and jazz influences become apparent as do classical underpinnings. Keep listening and Celtic music drifts in as do complex progressions borrowed from World Music. Crazy, but damn good. “First -- curiosity. The simple incongruity forms a question mark. A big ol' bass and a high-pitched mandolin, side by side? Like throwing a growling mastiff in with a mewling kitten.” -Gordon Johnson KCET Stay Connected on Social Media | MandoBasso on Facebook
