A Blog is Born: Surf City Family launch

A week ago today we launched the Surf City Family blog and email newsletter with a Meet and Greet event at the Mr. Magorium’s Emporium-like shop Bears, Buddies and Toys in Huntington Beach.

Photo above shows me (your editor/publisher/hb tour guide) flanked on the left by Linda Ludlow, owner of the store, and Linda Manne, art teacher – and yes, the famous Capt. Jack.

Subscribers to the Ezine and Facebook Fans were treated to an afternoon of shopping, art lessons, dress-up and mingling. To view photos – visit the Facebook Fan Page.

Other swag bag donors included – KeepWell Foods, Mangiamo Gelato Caffe, OC Family and Pretend City. Thank you so much.
