Friday Night at the Elks Lodge in Santa Maria, CA
I spent last night at the Santa Maria Elks Lodge on Bradley Road. And even though, I've lived in Santa Maria for years and been to the Elks many times, I've never been a member nor have I attended on Friday night when attendance is open to the general public. The Elks are responsible for the local Elks Rodeo and Parade which are a tradition in Santa Maria.
