On the Eve of a New Week: A Blast From the Recent Past :)

August 12 was Laguna Niguel and Tustin Day at the 2016 OC Fair.  I had the pleasure to be there with the Scouts of Troop 772 and as the entire City Council of Laguna Niguel as the Fair Opened.   It was a wonderful day and Council Member Minagar captured this day so beautifully in this Facebook Post:
