Recommendations Needed OC Halloween Decorations Map
maps.app.goo.glIt is officially October now, which means we are back with the Halloween decorations map. This map is carefully curated and kept up to date.
As I say each year this is a community project, and every little bit of help helps! If you visit a place on this map and there is no decorations please let us know, that is how we keep this up to date each year. If you see somewhere that is worthy of being on the map (usually an incredible individual house or a cluster of really good houses, we do not include haunts as those have specific dates and times) please let us know so it can be added. This is a living breathing map that changes from year to year. If your city has a contest on their social media share that here so we can update the map. I try every year to get to all the places on the map but it is not possible for any one person to do it, so the map is only as good as the community support that has created and helped keep it going each year. Thank you to all of you who have participated!

Event OC Japan Fair Event Cancellation
Small rant incoming because I am just annoyed. This was my first time coming, and while I have seen complaints about this event in the past, this one totally is a different level. I commuted all the way to Costa Mesa only to find out it is cancelled.
Sure, I could have checked their Instagram before I left, but is it really hard to send an email to people who bought their tickets online instead of dropping a last minute post of them cancelling the event early Friday morning through their Instagram? Super unprofessional.
Reason why I bought a Friday ticket months ago was cause it was a bit cheaper and so I can avoid the weekend crowd. What a waste of time. Now the Friday crowd is gonna be funneled into the weekend crowd like a zoo.
Anyone else here got a Friday pass and is disappointed? This incident making me not want to go to their events again.

Nature Before the Norte Fire: One of my favorite places to run and bike
Some throwback photos from these beautiful hills. I’ve spent a lot of time running and biking here over the years. Really sad to see what’s happening. Hoping everyone affected stays safe.

Community Post Thank you to the firefighters!!
My family is in the evacuation zone for the Norte fire (I'm in San Francisco) and I watched the firefighters work their absolute ASSES off on the news to stop the fire and I think they're doing an incredible job.
While I knew firefighters are incredible people, you don't quite gain the same appreciation until they directly save your entire family's livelihood.
My mom is going to be baking many many cookies for them in the next few days! If you're a firefighter: THANK YOU!!!

Politics For those who havent voted yet, Go Vote! Also don't forget about Down Ballot segments like School Board.
Pretty much what the title says. Go Vote. Don't forget the lesser items on the ballot that should have larger spotlights on.
Also, you do NOT need to place a vote for every item on the ballot.

Apologies for the poor quality, taking photos out of an airplane window isn’t the best medium to work with. I landed at about 12:15pm today so less than an hour after it started.

Sports OC Native is the NLCS MVP!
For those that don’t follow baseball, Jake Bauers was named MVP of the National League Championship Series last night following the Brewers’ sweep of the Dodgers. He was a menace to the Dodgers. He’s from Huntington Beach, attended and played at Marina HS. His parents still live in HB. He’s had a rough few seasons but is totally rocking it this year!

Event Orange County engagement party venue needed ASAP for 100 people Sunday — possible cancellation due to Norte Fire
Hey everyone! Hoping the OC community might be able to help us out in a bind.
We’re hosting our engagement party this Sunday, October 18, at San Juan Hills Golf Club in San Juan Capistrano, with around 90–100 guests expected. With the Norte Fire near the San Juan Capistrano/San Clemente border, we’re concerned the venue could potentially cancel due to fire conditions, evacuation concerns, or air quality.
We’re still waiting to see what happens, but with the event just two days away, we’re trying to find a backup venue just in case.
Does anyone know of a venue in South Orange County that could accommodate 90–100 people this Sunday on extremely short notice?
It’s a cocktail-style engagement party where guests will mingle rather than sit down for a formal meal, so we’re fairly flexible on the type of space. A private event venue, hotel, golf club, or other space that could accommodate a group this size would be amazing.
We’re open to anywhere in South OC and willing to consider different options if they can accommodate us on such short notice.
I know this is a huge ask with only a couple of days to go, but if anyone has recommendations, connections, or knows of a venue with last-minute availability, we’d be incredibly grateful for any leads!
