Garden Party at the Historic Pierpont Inn Local wineries and restaurants went all out at the Boys & Girls Club of Ventura’s 13th Annual Garden Party at the Historic Pierpont Inn on Sept. 24. As guests viewed the work of local artists, bid on items in a silent auction and enjoyed the live music offered by the Wilshire Trio and classical guitarist Carlos Gonzales, they noshed on food provided by local restaurants like the Sidecar Restaurant and Margarita Villa and sipped wine from local wineries like Herzog Wine Cellars and Old Creek Ranch Winery. The event is an annual fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club of Ventura County. For more information, visit www.bgclubventura.org or call 641-5585.
