This evening of refined taste and unexpected histories will lead guests on a journey back in time to the early mid-century. This decadent evening will begin with a cocktail hour featuring classic specialty drinks, a red carpet, keepsake polaroids, and live jazz music. Guests will enjoy a live cooking demonstration by Chef Adam Hart of Oxnard College and an artifact gallery with objects from MVC’s historic collection. The open-air dinner will transport diners to an elegant mid-century supper club, with each dish paired with wine chosen by local restaurateurs. Entertainment will continue in the form of a jazz quartet and an oral history of Olivas Adobe’s historic caretaker Iva Reeder performed by MVC’s Executive Director Elena Brokaw.
