On Feb. 25, 120 friends and neighbors gathered at the ballroom to celebrate four milestone birthdays. The guests of honor included Phil Street (80), Frank Engraff (75), Brian Baker (65), and Penney Oster (60). They danced the night away thanks to the musical skills of DJ Gus while enjoying light catered appetizers and, of course, yummy birthday cake. One of the many highlights of the evening was the air guitar contest. Watching the SaddleBooke Ranch men show their might while commanding an inflatable guitar to the guitar classics of “Johnny B. Goode” and Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” was a spectacle not to be missed.
In lieu of gifts, the birthday kids asked that their guests donate nonperishable food items or money for the Tri-Community Food Bank. A truckload of food and $1,800 in checks were donated to the Tri-Community Food Bank in Mammoth. Neighbors helping neighbors!
