River Valley Fest

The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy presents its fifth annual River Valley Fest on Sunday, October 12, at 2pm, at Rancho Valencia. “Connecting People with Nature” is this year’s theme, as the conservancy celebrates 28 years of conservation, recreation, and education. This year Richard Louv will be honored with a Lifetime Appreciation Award, and guests will enjoy authentic Spanish cuisine by San Diego Paella, desserts by Claire’s On Cedros, a live performance by Casey Turner, and a silent and live auction. Tickets are $125 per person; proceeds will support the vital work of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy. (858.755.6956, www.sdrvc.org/rivervalleyfest)
