Rusty’s Surf Ranch To Host Benefit Concert Sunday For Local Church:

Have you ever noticed the historic architectural gem on the corner of Hill and 2nd Street in Ocean Park known as “The Church in Ocean Park”?

It’s a beloved part of the community, but it needs some extra attention right now.

Locals are stepping up to the plate to raise much needed funds to protect and preserve the creaky 90-year-old church ensuring that it makes it to its next 100 years.

Rusty Surf Ranch owner Russ Barnard has offered his Santa Monica Pier restaurant/bar to host a benefit concert featuring local band The Bonedaddys, who will perform two shows this Sunday, April 28.

The 6 pm show ticket ($50) includes dinner while the 8:30 pm ticket ($15) is for the show only.

Both shows will open with magician David Groves.

The doors at Rusty’s Surf Ranch will open at 5:30 pm on Sunday for the 6 pm dinner show. Doors open at 8 pm for the 8:30 pm show.

To purchase tickets, visit churchop.nationbuilder.com, call 310.399.1631, or email info@churchop.org.

Taiko Takes on Tongva Park:

By Sam Skopp

This past Saturday, the Taiko Center of Los Angeles offered a workshop to Santa Monicans and passersby as part of Tongva Park’s “Family Saturday” series of events.

Reverend Tom Kurai, who’s the director of the Taiko Center of Los Angeles and has performed and taught Taiko drumming in the U.S. for over 40 years, led the workshop. A few additional team members assisted groups of participants, which were comprised of people from elementary school age to nearing retirement age. Regardless of demographic, all participants in the rotating groups of volunteers were enthusiastically following Kurai’s drumming exercises.
