DESCRIPTION:Join us for the free opening reception of three new exhibits at the Museum of Ventura County! Members receive a complimentary ticket to enjoy a Bee’s Knees cocktail. Live musical entertainment will be provided 3-5pm by the Silver Linings Family Trio. \nReception made possible by:\nParadise Pantry\, Peirano’s\, and Ventura Spirits \nAll That Glitters Is Not Gold\nA surprising history of the 1920s and Prohibition in Ventura County. As population and wealth boomed\, creativity flourished – but so did a tide of repression and exclusion.

Each object has a story to tell\, and this exhibit opens the door to those stories. \nThis exhibit made possible in part by the generous support of:\n \nPierpont Racquet Club  \nAlways Keep Creating: The Resiliency of Carol Rosenak\nRenowned local artist Carol Rosenak (1925-2002) was known for her still life paintings featuring exquisite textures and intricate details. Spanning over 30 years of her career\, this exhibit highlights her early printmaking\, still lifes\, and the abstract style she adopted later in life. \nThe Silver Linings Family Trio (the live music for this event) is comprised of family members of Carol Rosenak’s former husband\, well known local composer\, John Biggs.  His two daughters: Adrienne Biggs and Jennifer Biggs Walton will be playing violin and his grandson\, Oliver Walton will be playing cello. They honored to be performing for this tribute event. \nThis exhibit made possible in part by the generous support of:\nBonita McFarland Endowment Fund \nBehind the Curtain: An Insider’s Look at The George Stuart Historical Figures® \nMade possible in part by the Fred W. Smith Gallery Fund and additional support from Bethe and Tim Sullivan in memory of Rosemarie Magness \nMajor funding for the Museum’s programs is made possible by the City of Buenaventura\, the County of Ventura\, and private and community donors.

SUMMARY:Save the Pollinators: A Youth-Led Environmental Restoration Project Exhibit Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that our pollinators are in jeopardy? 95% of pollinator populations have decreased since the 1980s\, 75% of our world’s flowering plants rely on pollination to reproduce. Can you imagine a life without oranges\, chocolate or even coffee? That’s the world we face if pollinators go extinct. \nThe Save the Pollinators Project was developed by youth in Ojai to combat this problem. Teens decided the best solution to the declining pollinator populations was to create habitat through a community restoration project-the Green Valley Project Pollinator Corridor. This Pollinator Corridor is a network of pollinator gardens throughout Ventura County that will promote healthy habitats for birds\, bees and butterflies as they migrate through our valley. Youth designed and planted three large educational gardens and dispersed pollinator kits throughout our community to spread awareness about the pollinator problem and create a solution. \n \nPlease join us on Friday\, June 17th from 5PM-7PM at the Museum of Agriculture for our exhibit opening\, Save the Pollinators – A Youth Led Environmental Restoration Project\, if you would like to learn more about this project! Through photography\, music\, and art our teens hope to share everything that they learned while working to save the pollinators!

SUMMARY:"El Oz" Signing & Reading with David Damian Figueroa and Dolores Huerta
DESCRIPTION:The book is intended for ages 8 and up and was written as something for families to read and experience together. \n12:30PM – Student musicians from the Inlakech Cultural Center in Oxnard will be coming to play and welcome Dolores Huerta to the Agriculture Museum.\n1:00PM – Books are available for purchase (all proceeds donated by Mr. Figueroa to the MVC)\, and Mr. Figueroa is available to sign copies\n2:00PM – Reading from El Oz by author David Damian Figueroa\nFollowed by Q&A session with labor rights legend Dolores Huerta. \nAuthor\, producer and farmworker rights activist David Damian Figueroa debuts his second book\, “El Oz\,” a new children’s book for ages 8 and up that centers around Dolores\, a young Mexican girl from a fictitious town El Pueblito de los Milagros\, and her chihuahua named Pepito who find themselves in a strange land after a violent rainstorm. There\, they encounter a series of fantastical characters and wild adventures as they seek the elusive El Oz to help them return to their home. David Damian grew up working in the fields in Buckeye and Yuma\, Arizona – the birthplace of Cesar Chavez. His two official hometowns and his family provided the inspiration for “El Oz.” \n“El Oz” is already #11 in the Fiction Bestseller List at Publisher Lulu.com\, the largest independent bookstore in the world. “El Oz” is currently available globally at online retail outlets including\, Barnes & Noble\, Amazon\, GooglePlay\, Google Books\, Apple Books\, Lulu.com\, Kindle\, Kobo\, and Walmart\, among others. \nBook Synopsis: A Mexican girl from El Pueblito de Los Milagros\, and her devoted Chihuahua\, Pepito\, live on a ranchito with Tia Tonia and Tios Ozvaldo\, Wilfredo\, Pablo\, and Leonardo. Dolores is accustomed to living a simple life filled with folkloric dancing\, daily chores of feeding the farm animals\, laundry\, and cooking meals for the family. Even though Dolores’ tia and tios profit from the crops they grow on their ranchito\, they still struggle to compete in the changing economy. Their efforts to carve out a traditional living prove futile. With the threat of losing the farm\, Tio Ozvaldo makes a difficult decision to travel to the City of Angeles to find work and send money back to the family. Meanwhile\, making regular payments for the ranchito to the insufferable landlord\, Señora Vicenta becomes increasingly tricky. A sudden rainstorm hits. Dolores and Pepito take cover falling asleep under a large tree. When they awake\, they find themselves in a strange land. A place where flowers with faces sing and her dog\, Pepito\, can now speak. A hummingbird guides them to the guardian Necaxa\, who gives Dolores a red heart-shaped necklace for protection\, and instructs Dolores to follow her own heart down a talavera tiled path to Ozlandia to meet El Oz. Only he can help her to return home. Along the way\, Dolores and Pepito meet Necaxa\, Los Chiquitos\, El Empresario\, and befriend Welo\, Hierro\, and El Leon. They help protect them from the evil and wicked La Chaquetza and Los Malalas. \nAbout the Author: David Damian Figueroa is an activist\, community organizer\, storyteller\, poet\, filmmaker\, and music producer who grew up working in the agricultural fields of Southern Arizona. As a child\, his mother taught him the art of positivity through traditional Mexican regional songs\, storytelling\, and dichos (sayings) to help pass the time during long hot days in the agricultural fields and when they cleaned houses together. David Damian has previously published: “A Reminder to My Twenty-Three-Year-Old Self: A Book of Quotes\, Thoughts on Life\, and Personal Wisdom. El Oz is his second book. David Damian is executive producer of “Pepe Serna Life is Art\,” a documentary about the amazing life and career of veteran actor Pepe Serna. The film was an Official Selection of The Palm Springs Film Festival. David Damian also produced “Abuelo\,” a short film starring Pepe Serna which is admitted to the 2022 Cannes Film Festival’s Market Section. He is also executive producer on “Food Chains\,” a documentary about the plight of U.S. farmworkers that premiered at Berlinale – The Berlin International Film Festival.

SUMMARY:Ivor Davis: Up Close and Personal with Bob Eubanks
DESCRIPTION:Many recognize Bob Eubanks as a TV personality and game show host\, best known for hosting the explosively popular “The Newlywed Game.” In this fun evening\, you will learn so much more about Bob\, including the little-known story of how meeting the Beatles helped launch his career\, and all the twists and turns that recently earned him a Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award. \nWhat you may not know is that in 1964 Bob Eubanks was a bright-eyed and increasingly popular DJ in Southern California when the opportunity of a lifetime popped up. Did he want to be the concert promotor at the legendary Hollywood Bowl to present a hot new group from Liverpool who were about to embark on their first tour of America?  You bet he did! But there was one big problem: they demanded a huge chunk of upfront money to clinch the deal–and Eubanks didn’t have that kind of cash. So he gambled. He persuaded a bank to get a massive loan on his home to promote a rock group from England no one had ever seen live! He did it\, and the rest is history. The rock group was the Beatles–and Eubanks –like the Beatles became a legend in his own right! \nIn this live event\, Bob Eubanks will reveal all; how he became a legend in his own right\, his charmed life and career\, and how meeting The Beatles helped make it all possible. \nProof of vaccination will be required on arrival for in-person attendees over 12 years of age. Masks will not be required for this event. If you would like a mask\, we’re happy to provide one for you. \nMember In-Person RSVP \nMember Zoom RSVP \nNon-Member In-Person \nNon-Member Zoom

SUMMARY:Ivor Davis: Up Close and Personal with Dianne Lake
DESCRIPTION:“At age 14\, I became one of Charles Manson’s Girls. At 17 I helped put him in prison. This is my story.” – Dianne Lake \nDianne Lake was a beautiful and innocent wide eyed seventh grade student – whose hippie parents abandoned their traditional suburban lifestyle to join The Wavy Gravy’s Hog Farm Commune in Tujunga\, California. Along the way her parents met a man named Charles Manson. They were so impressed by him that\, as unbelievable as it sounds\, they turned their young daughter over to Manson. Dianne was just 14. What happened next is a personal odyssey that is hard to believe. She travelled with Manson’s ragtag band of runaways and social misfits until they settled at the notorious Spahn Movie Ranch in Chatsworth\, California.

SUMMARY:Family Fun Day at the Agriculture Museum in Santa Paula
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Black History Month by learning about the contributions of African- American Scientists and doing your own experiments.\nDo you love slime? Believe it or not\, this fun and gooey toy actually plays a big part in science and is called a polymer. Commemorate one of the first African-American female chemists\, Bettye Washington Greene\, by making your very own slime! You can make your slime glitter\, glow-in-the-dark\, foam\, or maybe even a combination! \nHave you ever stared at the TV or your phone too long\, and can still see an image even after you look away? These “after-images” are a normal part of how humans deal with all the things around us. In honor of African-American ophthalmologist\, inventor\, and UCLA professor\, Dr. Patricia Bath\, learn more about vision and science by doing an experiment to test how fast your eyes can adjust to seeing different images. \nFREE EVENT!\nBrought to you in part by the generous support of Aera Energy
