Firefighter’s Funky Chicken

Disco fever reigned supreme when the Firefighter Foundation of Santa Barbara South Coast hosted a pulsating Disco Inferno event with more than 200 guests at the Bella Vista, Summerland, estate of Pat and Ursula Nesbitt.

The boffo bash, co-chaired by Ursula, Arlene Montesano, Gail Kvistad, Jim Nigro and Greg Hons, featured a performance by the Maliev Dance Company, DJ Gavin Roy and the ubiquitous Andrew Firestone auctioning off a host of gifts.

Foundation president Brian Lombardi updated guests, including singer Katy Perry’s parents, Keith and Mary Hudson, animal activist Gretchen Lieff, Patrick Cockrum, Dean Carey, and Mark Blattler, on activities.

The event was expected to raise around $100,000.
