Summer is here and the Valley is bustling with visitors. If your business relies on tourism traffic, this is your time to shine. What can you do extra to attract these visitors to your business? Have you introduced yourself to the hoteliers, restaurants, or attractions in the area? They have direct contact with their guests checking in. Maybe they have an opportunity for you to place specials in their lobbies for the guests or perhaps you may work with them on creating a package. We find today's visitors are looking for new things to do and new experiences. How might you fit into their stay? Also, don't forget to keep us informed and updated at the Visitors Center. Do you have a new product or service? Do you have any specials? We are here to help our visitors have the best experience during their stay. Please help us in welcoming these guests, from across the globe, to Buellton and the Valley.

Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society
Pet of the Month
Catillac DSH Calico 1yr. F(S)
Catillac came to us with a ready-made family on the way. A staff member brought her home to foster and within days she had 4 kittens. The kittens have since been spayed/neutered and adopted, but Catillac is still in our adult cat room. A little bit feisty, she loves to play with all whether they're in the mood or not. If you have a place in your home for a young, energetic cat, please come by and check her out. She's microchipped and ready to meet you.
