Greer's OC

Fall is (finally!) in the air, and SOCO and the OC Mix in Costa Mesa want to help you and your family celebrate!  Fete this festive season with fun activities for kids of all ages (even “grown ups”) that will have you dressing up, dining as a family, giving back, and making memories. Have your calendars ready as you read on for all of the exciting event details. See you at SOCO!

Make Memories all Month!
During your next visit to SOCO this October, be sure to stop inside The OC Mix and take your picture in our fabulous photo booth scene created by Peinture using Chalk Paint®. Be sure to include the hashtags #theocmix#chalkpaint when you post your picture on Facebook and Instagram and you could win a prize!

Give Back on Sunday, October 19th!
Celebrate and serve the community at Ripple Kids In Action on October 19, 2014 from 12 p.m. - 3 p.m. at SOCO! Ripple Kids, a nonprofit organization seeks to inspire and empower kids to take action in their communities. This event will engage kids in a number of hands-on service projects addressing a variety of different causes. Guests will be able to assemble birthday kits for underprivileged youth, craft greeting cards for senior citizens, plant milkweed in an effort to preserve the monarch butterfly population, and more. This fun-filled fair will also include live music from OC's School of Rock youth music academy, and pets available for adoption from Barks of Love Animal Rescue. Be sure to meet the real life Ripple Kids to discuss volunteer and social entrepreneurship ideas! You can RSVP here.

Dress Up and Dine as a Family on Halloween!
’Tis the season to play dress up - and don your Halloween costumes!  This Halloween, Friday, October 31, SOCO and The OC Mix is the place for family friendly trick-or-treat-inspired activities. Granola Babies at SOCO will be hosting a day of songs, trick or treating, a Halloween crafts table and mini photo shoots by Katie Trottino. In The OC Mix, Milk and Honey Baby will host a costume contest for little ghosts and goblins - stop by for a free Halloween portrait and cupcakes! In search of a healthy treat? How about Greenleaf Gourmet ChopShop at SOCO, where kids in costume (12 and under) dine free from October 27 - November 2. And, so the grown-ups don't feel left out of the Halloween fun, ARC at SOCO will host a costume competition on Halloween night, as well!
