The Real Deal Cowboy Icon Monte Mills isn't just a performer; he’s a California Central Coast institution. A master farrier and professional auctioneer by trade, Monte is the "real deal"—one of the last and best of the great yodeling cowboys. Since 1976, he has been the primary custodian of Western Swing, a high-octane "Western Jazz" that blends the soulful improvisation of the big band era with a driving, rural rhythm that is impossible to sit still for.

Join us for an evening of celebration, community, and climate action at SLO Climate Coalition’s Climate Kickoff Party! This lively event will feature a special performance by the Joy Polloi Trio, the presentation of our annual Climate Champion Award, and a chance to win exciting prizes through our Wine Raffle and General Raffle.

Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to the movement, this gathering is the perfect way to connect with others who care about building a vibrant, just, and climate-resilient Central Coast.
