Cohn's host 'Spaghetti Western' at Ballena Vista Farm

More Social Diary Event Coverage ....HOME

Karen and Don Cohn with their son Jonathan invited guests to join them for; THE GOOD - food and drink, THE BAD - women, and THE UGLY - unrestricted gambling and line dancing..... y'all. All at their fabulous Ballena Vista Farm in Ramona.

Themed the Cohn's Spaghetti Western Party, party goers came in chic jeans, comfy cowboy boots of a fancy nature and enjoyed an over the top BBQ by Giuseppe's Fine Catering, and line dancing to singer Eve Sellis's tunes.

Among the 'ranch sorts for a day' there were Debbie Turner and Conrad Prebys, Lael and Jay Kovtun, Joan and Irwin Jacobs, Lori and Bill Walton, Lee Clark and Jerry Pikolysky, Sharon and Sami Ladeki, Mary Beth Adderly and Richard Wright, Mary Lyman, Jennifer and Richard Greenfield, Kathleen and Tim Kruer, and Barbara Bloom.

More there included Valerie and Harry Cooper, Linda and Don Swortwood, and Denise and Bertrand Hug. They all had just returned from a major jaunt to Europe.

Ranch dog Max was on hand too....enjoying all the festivities.

The Cohns offered up quite the spread. There were freshly blended Margaritas, fresh Chino Farms crudites with Giuseppe's secrets dippings, and of course there were the race horses on view including one brand new foal who shares the same birthday as Marilyn Monroe, ie June 1st.

Well 'Some Like It Hot' as guests wound their way up to the Cohns' spectacular new ranch home and a pool side spread.

There was a Pasta Station with mouth watering Italian dishes like Farfalle with Duo of Sauces, Creamy Hazelnut Pesto and Fresh Tomato Basil Marinara, a Salad Station.... loved the Summer Watermelon Salad, the Dessert Station with Gelato, Fudge Brownies and Summer Stone Fruit Cobbler with Streusel Topping. And yes, food maestro Giuseppe Ciuffa got in the mode and wore a cowboy hat too.

Jim Lennox of Pacific Event Productions served as the event producer.... and he did so to a Texas 't.'

Party goers eventually went homeward while spectacular horses Tribal Rule, Benchmark, Dixie Chatter and Idiot Proof looked on, and 'Recap'-ed the day.

The Town Gossip

Dr. Darush Mohyi with La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic's Dr. Nasrin Mani and San Diego Police Department's Chief William Lansdowne at the recent Friends of the Badge luncheon supporting the San Diego Police Foundation. Over $152,000 was raised to purchase Intoximeters for road safety, handheld cameras and video recorders and reflective safety vests. Bravo to all of those who support the San Diego Police Foundation!!

The Cheetah Conservation Fund held a fundraiser at the design studio of Jordan. CCF Founder and Executive Director Dr. Laurie Marker is pictured here with the designer Jordan and 2 very big Anatolian Shepherds...the dogs are being used in Africa to non-agressively provide a barrier between cheetahs and animal herds of locals. The plan works!
