Superbowl plans fall through? There are a couple of spots in Santa Maria where you can go catch the game with strangers who will soon become friends depending on who your team is. Since both sides of my family are originally from Louisiana, (although my mom was born and raised in Texas, her family is from Minden, Louisiana), and my Dad was born in New Orleans — it should be obvious who I’m pulling for although I think there is just too much pressure on the Saints! I’m hoping for the best. Quite frankly, just getting there is such a victory for New Orleans. I visited New Orleans just this past December, and you could have heard a pin drop in the French Quarter while the Saints were playing, every place we went people were watching the game or listening to it on the radio. The city of New Orleans is so united behind this team.
This year the City of Santa Maria Recreation and Parks is hosting a Superbowl party for teens at the Abel Maldonado Community Youth Center at 600 S. McClelland. Food, fun, and a 72″ screen to watch the big game. The party begins at 3pm and ends when the game does. $3.00 for teens and $5.00 for adults accompanying a teen. For adults, Orcutt Brew Company (formerly known as the Loading Dock) on Broadway in Old Orcutt is hosting an event called “R U Ready to Rock the Dock” Superbowl party that will begin at noon on Superbowl Sunday. For more information you can give them a call at (805) 934-3471.
Enjoy the festivities! Geaux Saints! Who Dat?
