Santa Clara Community Organization – Eugene

You’ve probably already heard that over 300 people attended the Celebration and that the attendees ate almost 300 hot dogs. The Friends of Awbrey Park and the SCCO would like to thank all of those who staffed tables at the event. Below is a video clip that exemplifies the spirit of Santa Clara.

This is Tim Foelker and his band entertaining the crowd. Encore performance included ‘Take Me Home, Country Road’ for outgoing Park Adopter Brandi Ferguson. Brandi was the first person to adopt a park in the city of Eugene. Thank you, Brandi, for 11 years of service.
