Subscriber Happy Hour Coming Jan. 27th
Also: The Ojai Valley Inn & Spa returns to the Planning Commission Jan. 15th
Greetings Readers!
I imagine we’re all anxious to get through Wednesday. Let’s all stay on our best fire weather behavior until then — alright?
I’m reaching out today with an invitation: it’s time for our first Subscriber Happy Hour of 2025!
I hosted the last Subscriber Happy Hour in late September: topics of conversation included the 2024 election, pickleball, Ojai’s 12.7 million in ERF funding, and so much more.



Like last time, this will be a casual event. It’s an opportunity to come together with community members interested in local government and politics, chat, joke and support local businesses.
Now that we’re in the winter season, and the sun will set around 5:30. Luckily, the Ojai Valley Brewery has a tremendous view of the pink moment — and outdoor heaters.
And since I’m in your inbox: remember the story about the Ojai Valley Inn’s proposed redevelopment of the former Topa Mountain Winery — including the “shuttle path” through the Ojai Valley Bike Trail? They’re coming back to the Planning Commission tomorrow. If you have thoughts on the matter, I’d recommend attending (or watching — these meetings are broadcast live on YouTube via Ojai City.)
I look forward to seeing you January 27th (or perhaps at the Planning Commission)!
As always, thank you for being here.
