August 5, 2012 - Viva!
It's that time of year for Santa Barbara, and if there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, It's
just a confetti egg for Fiesta. Ed hopes that you all have been enjoying yourselves. Today we will announce the number of horses in
the horse parade, the winner of Edhat's annual contest, and as one dance group leaves the stage, we will announce a new contest for
y'all to play.
So if you didn't win a t-shirt this week, you have another chance. There's still time to change the road
you're on. And it makes Ed wonder, will the fun ever end?
We don't think so. And to prove it, check this out! The Dog of the Week is Maddie, the newest pip on the block; The Cat of the Week
is Mittens, of YouTube fame. This week, our own dedicated staffer, Lauren Bray begins a journey through paradise. Edda gives more
of her sage advice, and Nicole shares a story of love and salvation. The Urban Hikers were waylaid by Fiesta festivities and took the
week off, and we have a winner in the Fiesta Parade Horse Count!
