Do you remember this sign?

It was in Baywood for years, but disappeared, years ago. It's probably hanging on a former teenager's bedroom wall along with Freddy Mercury and U2 posters.

Celebrate Los Osos will be designing a new sign: bright, colorful, and more visually representative of Baywood Park -- the "soul" of Los Osos. We will install the sign in Baywood on the back of the Ipe Wayfinding sign.

Stand by for announcements about the official UNVEILING, sometime in early November! Join us for drumroll.....

A massive THANK YOU to our incredible w**d-pulling crew!!!

Celebrate Los Osos would like to extend our deepest gratitude to each of our volunteers for dedicating their Saturday morning to transforming our town’s entry median.

Our 1,100-linear-foot median strip was covered in w**ds, long suckers were growing from the base of the oak trees and trash lay hidden under and around the senecio succulents.

It was a big undertaking, but the volunteers' lively energy and extraordinary teamwork turned a daunting chore into an absolute triumph.

Thanks to all our volunteers' hard work, in just two short hours we cleared out bags and bags of w**ds, litter, and stubborn oak tree suckers. The entrance to our town looks refreshed and welcoming once again.

THANK YOU TO:
Bryan Allen
Michael Glavan
George Janeway
Ellie Malyknot
Jean Moelter
Pandora Nash-Karner
Esther Patagve
Lynette Tornatzky
Jamie Wallace
Nora Wallace

A special THANK YOU to Suzanne Morrison of Earthscapes who brought cones for traffic control and instructed us in how to remove the suckers and prune the senecio. Suzanne maintained the median for nearly 20 years prior to retiring from the project to do more landscape design.

Beyond the immediate visual transformation, their efforts have given our new landscape contractor — coming soon — a big head start on keeping this area well maintained and beautiful.

We are incredibly fortunate to have neighbors like this who care so deeply about our community. We thank them for their time, hard work, and fantastic spirit.

With sincere gratitude,
Celebrate Los Osos

The 5th annual Baywood Lighted Boat Parade returned to the water in Los Osos over the weekend and Celebrate Los Osos won one of two "Local Luminary Awards", presented by Paul Irving.

People decorated boats and floats to paddle out on the bay, allowing spectators to watch the fun from the shore. Even a giant pumpkin attempted to join the parade, but it was a bit too tippy -- but very fun!
