Warm Thoughts Of Lompoc:
by R. Blaine Miller
I love Lompoc. I lived there a few years ago. I have been visiting regularly over the past several years
and it has grown. But the peace, tranquility, and serenity of the area
have only deepened.
And I think it must come from the people who manage
to make it their home. That too has not changed one wit. The people are
the warmest, friendliest, and most easy going I have ever met. Is it any wonder I come there to recharge my batteries?
Camping Around Lompoc?
Blaine also asks:
Is there anywhere (around Lompoc) I can set up my tent and camp for a couple of days? I don't need fancy accomodations or
anything, just a place to sleep and washup. Perhaps out towards Ocean?
I'd prefer NOT to go to one of the State places like Refugio or Nahoqi.
Too far away and too crowded. I'm looking for someplace close with access to Surf and the area towards
Pine Canyon. Thanks!
Response from Scott and Divina Johnston:
Howdy!
There's always Jalama Beach just south of Lompoc. You can camp right on the
beach there. There are also camping facilities at River Park on the south
eastern edge of town. Not sure what kind of facilities are available for
washing up, though.
Response from Janrn1910@aol.com:
Showers are available at River Park. A nice place to camp.

Brushes and Blues
by Judy Stevens
Lompoc's 8th annual Brushes & Blues event will be on Sunday, August 20 at La Purisima Mission from 11 am -6 pm.
"This will be our 3rd year at the Mission and each year it has become biger and better in every regard" noted Paulette Cunningham

displaying their works around the mission fountain and under the trees on the mission grounds. Musical performances include Santa
Barbara's famous "Blues Ambassadors" Tom Ball and Kenny Sultan, and the Lompoc Pops Orchestra. Throughout the day other
local musical groups will be performing on stage, as well theater demonstrations, face painting and story-telling for children. Wine
tastings will be provided by Morovino, Cottonwood Canyon, and Close Pepe Wineries. There will be a delicious BBQ and other
food available.
Admission is $7 which includes parking, and a shuttle bus from the parking lot. $10 Wine tasting tickets include an embossed wine
glass. Individual wine and beer are $3 each. Event tickets are available now at Santa Barbara Bank & Trust (Walnut & H St.
branch), and the Chamber of Commerce at 111 So. I St. or at the gate on August. 20th.
