HUMAN FOOSBALL, set up below, is also popular for fund raising events to support your local community.
Agua Linda Farm
Festival & Event Center
Stewart and Laurel Loew Agua Linda Ranch, a hacienda estate built by Linda Rondstadt's grandfather a century ago, now offers a community farm and event center hosting corporate events, weddings, and festivals.
Another historic family, the Loews, bought the ranch in the 1960s, and Stewart Loew, grandson of Adolf Zukor, has developed a community farm and event center with his wife Laurel.
Guests at the farm are free to explore hiking trails along the Santa Cruz River conservation easement with access to the Anza trail.

September to Remember:
Cornhole & Human Foosball
 More than 220 executives from Genentech (now a member of the Roche Group) met Venture Up at the Yerba Buena Park in San Francisco to take on the Cornhole and Human Foosball competition. Cornhole, also known as Hillbilly Horseshoes, is an old fashioned fair game of bean bag tossing. Cornhole is making a big comeback with groups across the USA -- including corporate leaders who are breaking lose with office teams to have some large-scale fun.
