Firefighter Appreciation Day Held On Our Historic Property


As many of you remember, in October 2007, a firestorm devastated southern California. Valley Center, along with many other communities, was affected. My husband and I had just purchased our dream property and had to helplessly watch as the Witch Creek fire raced through the valley towards our home. Just as the fire was only 10 feet from our house, the firemen arrived and saved us. It was a miracle and we thank our dear friends, the Valley Center Fire Department, for their bravery and for driving into the raging fire to save our dream. They are our local heroes, as I’m sure you will agree.

One year later, we felt it was time to show our gratitude by hosting a fundraiser in their honor. We opened up our property to the community with music, food, education, and fun. The best part was that a sizeable donation was made to the Valley Center Fire Department to use as needed.


We look forward to making a difference in our community again, one of these days soon. We thank all of our local heroes! And we thank you, -thanks for coming out, swaying to the music, and making it a day to remember!
