The post SYV CALENDAR appeared first on Santa Ynez Valley Star.

Former SYHS teacher Rob Hill Started the Pirate Garage Car Show 12 years ago, and what started out as a small gathering of car enthusiasts in a high school parking lot has become a beloved annual tradition that brings students, families, and the entire community together, according to the school’s current automotive studies teacher Gary Semerdjian.

“As we gear up for our 12th Annual High School Car Show, we invite you to be part of an event that’s more than just horsepower and chrome. It’s about passion, history, and the spirit of automotive culture,” Semerdjian continued. “Every year, this show transforms our school grounds into a living museum of automotive excellence, showcasing everything from classic muscle cars to modern marvels. Whether you’re a die-hard gearhead, a casual admirer, or just looking for a fun day out, there’s something for everyone.”

The car show will have awards for the best cars, live music spun by a DJ, a raffle, and food and beverages, mostly notably from Full of Life Flatbread.

For more information, email gsemerdjian@syvuhsd.org or call (805) 895-5115.

Celebrate Life Run, 9 a.m.

On February 21, 2020, Siri Lindley — a two-time world champion, Hall of Fame triathlete, coach to Olympic medalists and world champions, and renowned speaker — faced her toughest challenge yet: acute myeloid leukemia. With only a 5 percent chance of survival, Siri overcame the odds and emerged victorious.

Inspired by this incredible journey, Siri and her wife, Rebekah Keat, founded the Celebrate Life Run — an annual event now entering its fifth year! This heartfelt celebration marks the anniversary of Siri being officially declared cured and serves as a tribute to the miracle of life.

This inclusive, timed walk/run honors life, remembers loved ones we’ve lost, and showcases the resilience of the human spirit. Open to all ages and fitness levels, it’s a day of gratitude, community, and inspiration. The run begins and ends at Believe Ranch and Rescue, where Siri and Bek devote their lives to rescuing abused, neglected, and slaughter-bound horses. After the race, meet the rescue horses, Siri, and Bek while enjoying local artisan pop-ups featuring coffee, baked goods, wine, spirits, arts, and crafts.

Registration Fees: $55 until Friday, Feb. 21 at 7 p.m.; $65 on race day (registration begins at 8 a.m., Feb. 22); and $40 for the Virtual Race (processing fees included).
