Join us for the second annual Central Coast Sessions!

We'll have live performances from 10 spectacular local bands, you’ll have the opportunity to shop KCBX and Live Oak Music Festival merchandise, try your luck in a raffle featuring dozens of goods and services donated by our local business partners, take part in an exclusive Rod & Hammer spirits tasting, and enjoy tasty food and beverages from The Rock’s on-site restaurant.

We will also be honoring the lives of Frank Lanzone, who served as KCBX’s president and general manager since 1980, and 38-year station operations manager Hank Hadley. If you have been wondering about the best way to share a memory or send your regards, please join us for this day of community connection and celebration of Hank and Frank’s lifelong commitment to public radio.

After more than 50 years on the Central Coast, KCBX is here to stay, thanks to your support, as your 100% community-funded public radio station. We look forward to celebrating with you alongside hundreds of fellow listeners, supporters, and music lovers of the Central Coast!

Los Osos Valley Garden Club November Community presents two programs:

1. Using Native Plants in the Garden. While many of us are aware of the benefits of native plants, we might feel overwhelmed when actually integrating native plants into our gardens. This presentation will focus on different garden styles, practical landscaping considerations, and how to really garden with natives successfully. We’ll also discuss using natives in small garden spaces and identifying low-maintenance specimens.

2: Plant Propagation with Cuttings. This program will give some basics of propagation from stems, leaves, or root cuttings. It will teach about softwood and hardwood cuttings. The program will talk about rooting hormones and soil mixes to use, how to sterilize tools, and recycled pots. We will have a short time for a hands-on workshop.

We are all familiar with images of exotic animals suffering from human encroachment and habitat loss, such as pandas, white rhinos, and orangutans. However, conserving our local, often urban habitats is just as important. Much of our local wildlife faces a similar plight, but it often goes unnoticed.

Roy Dunn's goal is to bring imagery of the stunning array of wildlife on the Central Coast to people's attention, helping them connect with local species rather than animals living half a world away. This presentation will feature imagery of local, mostly nocturnal wildlife, along with anecdotes about the challenges of capturing these images and footage.

All MCAS Zoom Community Programs are free and open to the public.
