Vol. 10, No. 6 – December 21, 2016 – January 3, 2017 – Ojai News & Events

Join a New Year’s Dance Party, at the Ojai Valley Woman’s Club, featuring the amazing Crowfoot,​ the multi-talented band who will be featured at the Ojai Mardi Gras’s Fais-Do-Do​ (coming up March 5-6, 2017). The dancing starts at 8:00 and there will be plenty of fun and surprises until 12:30 AM​.​ The themed decorations will be provided by the Ojai Mardi Gras Wake-Up! Krewe and the suggested, (but optional) dress code is for “flapper”​, swinging 1920’s attire, because we will be “Putting on the Ritz”.

There will be a “No-Host” bar (please bring your ID and cash to buy drinks) and a ​hors d’oeuvre/finger food ​and dessert ​potluck​. Plus we will provide a champagne toast at Midnight!!!  Guests who bring a potluck dish will have their name entered in a drawing at midnight when four people will win tickets (a $30 value) for next year’s Ojai Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball on Saturday March 5th 2017​

Crowfoot is full of local super stars: Mark Parsons on vocals and fiddle, Lee Rollag on guitar, vocals, and fiddle, Rick Borella on bass, Roger Reid on drums and vocals, and Marcel Pappillion on fiddle, guitar, flute, and vocals.

Crowfoot morphed out of Flambeau and have played together for years and can really sound like a few different bands with all the styles. Eclectic Music for eccentric people

Ojai Valley Woman’s Club is located smack in the middle of downtown Ojai at 411 Ojai Avenue. Tickets are only $25. Get them while they last at the Ojai Coffee Roasting Company, Serendipity Toys, Ojai Creates, Cardinali Brothers Music and Ojai Valley Feed. There are only 100 tickets in the stores at $25, and after they are gone, you will have to pay an online service charge or the door price of $30. So get them while you can, and be a part of the swingingest New Years Dance Party in Ojai.
