OCEAN BEACH — For another fall, the Ocean Beach Restaurant Walk will test even the most adept eaters, offering locals the chance to sample treats, hors d’oeuvres, dinner items and other goodies in a walking circuit of more than 40 participating bars, restaurants and venues. Tickets for the Nov. 9 event went on sale yesterday, Oct. 26 at a handful of area retailers. “Good luck if you can eat it all,” said Denny Knox, executive director of the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA). The event is organized and coordinated by OBMA to raise money for the Ocean Beach Town Council Tree Committee’s holiday food and toy drive that aids needy families. Event organizers say the estimated $7,500 raised from ticket sales goes toward the holiday drive that helps about 70 families — most of whom are from Ocean Beach. For a $15 ticket, participants will sample tasty delights from the many participating business in Ocean Beach from 5 to 9 p.m. OBMA officials are encouraging residents to purchase tickets quickly because the event always sells out each year; Knox said she expects the event to be sold out by Monday, Nov. 1. “It’s a really great thing that the OB Town Council’s Tree Committee does,” Knox said. “This is OBMA’s contribution to it.” Tickets are currently available at the following locations: • Dog Beach Dog Wash, 4933 Voltaire St., (619) 523-1700 • Bone Appetit Pet Store, 4845 Newport Ave., (619) 226-6250 • Indulgence Hair Salon, 4956 Newport Ave., (619) 225-8854 • Lucy’s Tavern, 4906 Voltaire St., (619) 224-0834 • San Diego Bay Flower Co., 4822 Santa Monica Ave., (619) 222-5400 • Sunshine Company, 5028 Newport Ave., (619) 222-0722 • Surf n’ Sea Wetsuits, 1874 Bacon St., (619) 222-1231 • OB MainStreet Association, 1868 Bacon St., (619) 224-4906 • O.B.
