On Saturday, December 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lido Theater, “Legend of the Giant Killers” will screen, a documentary film made by two OC natives and Newport Harbor High alumni, Alex Crawford and Riley Hayes. It's the story of how one game can define a season and how one season can define the culture of the game—1967 Oregon State football team and their legacy.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., movie screens at 7:30 p.m. No host bar. Immediately following the film, there will a Q&A with Alex Crawford and Riley Hayes. There will also be limited edition merchandise for sale, as well as a performance by Walter Mitty & His Makeshift Orchestra.

We are excited to introduce the woman behind B. Toffee: Betsy Thagard, maker and founder of Orange County’s most beloved toffee. It took her years of experimenting and perfecting her toffee recipe that uses only the finest, freshest and most natural ingredients, from savory butters, to premium Guittard and Callebaut chocolates.
Today, B. Toffee is carried in high-end specialty stores across the country such as Dean & Deluca and Whole Foods, as well as top resorts and local boutiques and markets. In our 20 Q’s, Betsy shares among many things, what makes her toffee special, her company’s giving back initiative, and a secret most people don’t know about her.
