The Ultimate Art Fair in Rancho Sante Fe

The Event

If you are an art/crafts lover, then I would seriously consider attending the Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild's A Finer Art Affaire on Sunday, September 9th 10 AM to 5 PM. It should be a wonderful event with 150 booths of fine art, plus art demonstrations, Children's Art Show, music and food. It may not be the ultimate art fair, but if last year's was any indication, this one should be terrific. (photo taken from their website and available as a downloadable flyer)

The fair is held in the two parks located in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe, across the street from the historic Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. The address is 6004 Paseo Delicias in the village.

A number of women from the Rancho Santa Fe Business Professional Women's Organization will be exhibiting.

Music

Music is being provided by the San Diego Chamber Orchestra.

Food Services
Food services will be provided by Caffe Positano and beverages will be located in the street area between the parks.

Port-a-potties will be provided in both parks.

Children's Art Show
The Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild Gallery will host the annual Children's Art Show featuring the art of Rancho Santa Fe Elementary School students. In addition, for the first time, the Guild is featuring art of students from local Junior High and High schools at the Art Fair (located on the closed street between the North and South Parks ).

Personal Chef Services

I wanted to share some information about a personal chef service in the San Diego and North County coastal area for those of you with busy lives (who isn't?) and who might be interested in an alternative to buying fast food or always going out to eat because you don't have time, or energy, to fix shop for and prepare regular meals at home.

Pamela Croft is a delight. I have gotten to know her through my wife and their membership in the Rancho Santa Fe Business Professional Women's Organization. In fact we were just at a terrific picnic hosted by Pam yesterday in Del Mar in honor of 7/7/07.

Pam's company, Dinner at Home, provides in-home food services in the form of meals cooked at your home, using the finest and freshest ingredients, and a menu she designs with your requirements in mind, for couples, singles or families. The meals are prepared for storage in your refrigerator or freezer (conveniently labeled and with heating instructions) , and plans may be selected for weekly, bi-weekly or monthly cooking dates. She will also include side dishes and make suggestions for accompaniments; the standard service is for 5 meals with up to 4 servings. As a Culinary Business Academy-trained chef, she can meet any of your culinary needs.

Even better, her business partner and Sommelier, Jay Wexler, can provide recommendations for wine pairings to further enhance your in-home dining, based on your personal preferences and needs, and assist you in learning more about wines in general.

Dinner at Home with a personal chef is a terrific solution for busy singles, couples and families who enjoy fine dining, but don't want to spend lots of money going out to restaurants or don't have time for shopping and food preparation. You can also use Pam and Jay's services for that special dinner party or intimate gathering in your home as opposed to hiring a large catering service.

Or how about giving the gift of personal chef in-home services for that special someone or a special occasion? Gift certificates are available.
