The CAPS Media Crew captured the St. Patrick’s Day Parade festivities, broadcasting and live streaming Ventura’s 31st annual celebration on channel 6 and on capsmedia.org. More than seventy groups and performers joined in the fun and entertained thousands of parade watchers gathered along Main Street in Ventura.
The following Saturday CAPS recorded the annual Ventura Unified School District Festival of Talent extravaganza at Ventura High School. More than twenty individual and talented acts performed in the entertaining two-hour production. Now in its 18th year, Festival of Talent is the largest fundraising event for Ventura Education Partnership. Proceeds support innovative classroom grants through the VEP Grants program.
The majority of the crew members for both the St Patrick’s Day Parade and the Festival of Talent productions are volunteers from our community including CAPS Media Member/Producers and students in the CAPS/El Camino High School media program (ECTV). Everyone donates their time and talent for these worthwhile and entertaining events (plus it is always fun to be part of the CAPS crew). The parade and talent show programs will replay on CAPS Media channel 6 over the next few weeks. Go to capsmedia.org/schedules to find the days and times.
CAPS Media is collaborating with the Ventura Police Department on an ongoing series of community awareness and information projects. Coordinated by Ashley Bautista, VPD Community Outreach Specialist, the projects include a series of traffic safety videos providing drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists with accurate “rules of the road.” The new series is in addition to the ongoing VPD community updates and crime prevention tips produced by CAPS.
