Fieldside Fiesta Bash

Society gadabout Rick Oshay and Teresa Kuskey Nowak, bubbly founder of the La Boheme dance company, hosted their 4th annual Viva La Fiesta bash at Fieldside, the popular Santa Barbara Polo Club restaurant, for 200 gloriously garbed guests.

The fun fête featured Teresa’s colorful dancers who led our Eden by the Beach’s Summer Solstice parade, and honored Fiesta El Presidente David Bolton.

An absolute cavalcade of entertainers performed before La Boheme’s energetic finale with ubiquitous KEYT TV reporter John Palminteri emceeing, including singers from Opera Santa Barbara, ballroom dancers Vasily Golovin and Jatila van der Veen, salsa sensation Erika Martin del Campo, the Garcia Fiesta Pequeña group, the Spirit of Fiesta Jack Harwood, 19, and Junior Spirit Olivia Grace Nelson, 10.

Among the flurry of fiesta fans turning out were Peter Hilf, Gretchen Lieff, Robert Adams, Dana Hansen, Chris and Mindy Denson, Howard Jay Smith, Stephanie Petlow, Denise Sanford, Saint Barbara Lisa Osborn, Fritz and Gretchen Olenberger, Karen Knight, Richard and Amanda Payatt, and Joel and Jamie Knee.
