With every issue, more and more events are being displayed in print and posted through our website. Plus, our number of email subscribers is growing daily. What is an email subscriber? Conejo365 sends out a weekly email every Thursday morning. It keeps our email subscribers up to date with what is up-coming for the weekend. So, if you want to be in the know about the latest goings-on, sign up at www.conejo365.com . It’s free and filled with an amazing rundown of great ways to more fully enjoy the Conejo. At this time of year, the hills have turned to a golden canvas with splashes of beautiful green oak trees. In this magazine, we have done our best to capture this colorful palette, as have so many of our local photographers and painters. But even these works of art can’t match the real thing; something you need to see with your own eyes. Take your family or out-of-town guests on a sunset drive on Kanan Road or do a hike down Sycamore Canyon. There is nothing else like it. The National Park Service is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Many of the photos in this issue where taken on National Park property. If you want to know more about the National Parks in the Conejo go to www.samofund.org. You will be amazed at what’s right here in our own backyard. As you peruse this latest issue, please take the time to notice our advertisers and give them a buzz the next time you need one of their services. Their commitment to the community and this magazine deserves to be rewarded. And, as we continue to bring you news of the many, fantastic things going on in and around the Conejo through our magazine and website, we encourage you to let us know how we’re doing and what else we can provide to make Conejo365 even more useful to you. Enjoy your summer.

Sean Watkins - singer, songwriter and multiinstrumentalist has long been known for his work as one-third of the Grammy Award-winning Nickel Creek and, more recently, for helming, with sister Sara, the itinerant, genre-hopping Watkins Family Hour ensemble. But in the last year he has more assertively – and impressively – taken on the role of solo artist. ‘What To Fear’ is a follow-up to 2014’s acclaimed ‘All I Do Is Lie’, which had been Watkins’ first solo effort in nearly a decade, ten years that had been jammed with collaborative projects and a herculean amount of touring. Bring a picnic basket and your favorite bottle of wine and relax on the ranch before the show. These concerts are free to the public. Reserved seating is limited.
