For some silly reason, FB removed my posts thanking our sponsors for Monterey Swing Fest so we might have to do the 'thank yous' as individual posts

Thank you to Richard Mora and Laura E. Hunter for sponsoring the Legends Invitational show on Saturday night! Without these two incredible dancers, we would not have been able to put on such a fantastic show! We wanted to provide an opportunity for dancers to allow their artistry to shine and we feel we were able to do just that.

Rich also helped sponsor the Master's Cocktail Party on Friday night (that I definitely showed up to) and it was a huge hit! Thank you Rich for all of our generosity to help us make Monterey such a special weekend.

Laura has a new event coming up in Renton, Washington this September 19-22, 2024. Be sure to check out what she has in store, it's sure to be an epic event! For more information, check out a link that I will have to post elsewhere because thinks I'm going against community standards again for some reason

Huge shout out to SoCal Westy for sponsoring one of my all time favorite divisions at Monterey Swing Fest, the Generational Strictly Division! This contest requires at least a 20 year age gap between dancers and produces some incredible partnerships. We love the intergenerational mix of dancers creating on the floor together! Thank you to SoCal Westy for sponsoring this division!

Wanted to give a huge shout out to our sponsors who helped us make Monterey Swing Fest 2024 our best year ever!

Rich Mora helped sponsor the Master’s Cocktail Party on Friday night AND he helped sponsor the Legends Invitational on Saturday night!

Laura Hunter also helped sponsor the Legends Invitational with Rich Mora! The invitational was a special sight to see live and Rich and Laura both helped make it possible by sponsoring the incredible artists featured in the invitational.

Hey everyone!

We’re heading out to Bargetto Wine Tasting room next to the aquarium (not the one in Carmel)
