Ventura Breeze
August 7, 2026
Summer nights in Ventura just got a whole lot cooler. The Music Under the Stars series at the historic Olivas Adobe is back, and this Friday they're bringing Joe Finkle & the 7/10 Splits for an evening of original rockabilly that'll have you dancing under the oak trees. It's the kind of night that reminds us why we love living here—great music, perfect weather, and a chance to gather with neighbors in one of the city's most beautiful spots.
Joe Finkle's band has been a staple of the Southern California scene for years, and with John Snoke on lead guitar, Paul Bouyear on bass, and the legendary Bernie Dresel on drums, you're in for a treat. Bring a blanket, grab a drink, and let the good times roll. For all the details, check out the original story in the Ventura Breeze. See you there!

VenturaOn Vacation – Arizona
Our neighbors Lisa and Jim McLaughlin traded the June gloom for desert heat this July, spending the whole month in Arizona. Their one-line review is a gem: "If you want a Breeze in Arizona, you have to bring it yourself." Fair warning, friends — that's a dry heat with no ocean chaser. It's a reminder that the Ventura Breeze isn't just a paper, it's a travel companion. The Breeze invites anyone heading out of town to pack a copy and send a snapshot back to [email protected], and we love seeing 805 faces in far-flung places. So whether you're escaping to Sedona or just down to Oxnard for the weekend, take the hometown read along. Safe travels, McLaughlins — the cool coastal air will be waiting when you get back.
VenturaVCCF Scholarships Surpass $2 Million Milestone
Big news for Ventura County families: the Ventura County Community Foundation just awarded more than $2 million in scholarships to local students — a new record for the program. That's $2,009,312 going straight to students across our county as a new school year begins. What makes this matter here is simple. Plenty of 805 families know the squeeze of tuition, books, and living costs, and many of these scholarships stay local, helping students from Fillmore to Thousand Oaks, Oxnard to Simi Valley, take their next step without drowning in debt. It's our neighbors investing in our kids. Thanks to the Ventura Breeze for spotlighting it. If you know a student heading to college or trade school, point them toward VCCF — this is exactly the kind of hometown support worth celebrating.
VenturaCommunity Memorial Adds After-Hours Care
Good news for Ventura County families: Community Memorial Healthcare is now offering after-hours primary care appointments at four locations — Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo, and Santa Paula. That means you can see a family medicine physician or pediatrician Monday through Friday from 5 to 8 p.m., right when the usual 9-to-5 window slams shut. If you've ever spent an evening debating whether a kid's fever warrants the ER, you know why this matters. It's a middle path between waiting until morning and an expensive, hours-long emergency room visit. For working parents especially, this is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade. Details via the Ventura Breeze, which keeps us posted on local health care news. Check with Community Memorial for scheduling and which locations offer which services. It's a small change with a big impact on how we care for our families here in the 805.
