The Santa Barbara Independent’s Local Heroes Luncheon | Credit: Ingrid Bostrom
Though we honor our Local Heroes each year in our November issue, our annual luncheon brings a special kinship and connection to the good our community is doing. Like every year, our Editor-in-Chief Marianne Partridge took to the stage and brought up our Local Heroes to honor them once again in person, in our community.
The Indy staff, alongside city officials, friends, and our valued community members, celebrated all that our Local Heroes achieved and what they are continuing to accomplish. From teaching Spanish to protecting our bees and butterflies, bringing joy to people shopping in their store, or bringing the Library Plaza to life, our Heroes have contributed so much to our community!
We hope you enjoyed our Local Heroes issue as much as we did, and that, like us, you will continue to celebrate our Local Heroes and our wonderful community this holiday season.
