What stories are written into the cliffs, trails and coastline of Devil's Slide? Join local naturalist and historian Keith Mangold for a fascinating look at this remarkable stretch of the San Mateo County coast.
Mangold's presentation takes a holistic approach, exploring both the natural world and the human history of Devil's Slide, from the plants and animals that thrive along the coast to the generations of people who have wrestled with the challenges of getting safely along this dramatic and sometimes treacherous landscape.
A longtime El Granada resident, Mangold has volunteered with San Mateo County Parks at Devil's Slide and Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, as well as with Half Moon Bay State Parks and the San Mateo County Resource Conservation District. His deep involvement in the Coastside has given him a unique perspective on the area's history, geology, wildlife and environmental challenges.
Come discover the fascinating stories-both natural and human-that have shaped Devil's Slide and the coast we know today.
The Courthouse Docket lecture series at the San Mateo County History Museum is sponsored by the Cypress Lawn Heritage Foundation.
Included with admission and free for Museum members.

Some nights you remember. Some nights leave a mark. 
This Halloween, prepare to be Bitten by the Bay at the 4-star Hyatt Centric Mountain View for a night of cocktails, costumes, dancing, prizes, and plenty of opportunities to meet people.
Singles, couples, and friends are all welcome. And because many of you are coming single, our VIP singles experience returns as the VIP Singles Sanctuary Lounge—a private, low-lit lounge exclusively for singles.
This isn't simply another Saturday night at a crowded bar. It's a six-hour Halloween experience with multiple spaces, each offering a different way to enjoy the night.
For more than a decade, we've produced large Halloween Costume &amp; Dance Parties in the Bay Area, with past themes including Bewitched by the Bay, Ghosted by the Bay, and Zombied by the Bay.
This year, prepare to be Bitten by the Bay.
THE HALLOWEEN EXPERIENCE
Your night begins in the Twilight Lounge, our spacious social area. Check in, grab a drink, check out the costumes, and start meeting people.
Then enter the darkened Crimson Ballroom, illuminated with red backlighting and special Halloween effects. This is the heart of Bitten by the Bay—home to our dance floor, costume contest, bar, and VIP Singles Sanctuary.
And once you're inside, be careful.
This is where most of the biting happens.
DJ Dave X is back! He's kept our Halloween and NYE dance floors packed with dance hits, throwbacks, and party anthems. No dead dance floor.
Want somewhere you can actually have a conversation? Weather permitting, step outside to the Moonlight Terrace at View on Two, the Hyatt's spacious outdoor patio and bar. Enjoy the night air, admire the costumes, and mingle away from the music.
VIP SINGLES SANCTUARY
Coming single? We've created a space just for you.
Our VIP Singles Sanctuary is a private, low-lit lounge inside the Crimson Ballroom reserved exclusively for singles. Mingle, meet other singles, enjoy complimentary appetizers, or simply take a break from the dance floor.
VIP admission includes General Admission plus: • Exclusive Singles Sanctuary access • Private, low-lit environment • Limited seating • Complimentary appetizers while supplies last
VIP tickets are limited.
DARE TO TAKE A BITE?
Two specialty Halloween cocktails will be available for purchase:
🩸 The First Bite 💋 Bitten &amp; Smitten
A full bar will also be available.
Choose carefully. One bite may lead to another.
HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST
Costumes aren't required, but they're strongly recommended. Go scary. Go sexy. Go funny. Go elegant. Go completely ridiculous. Just don't go boring.
Just show up in ANY costume to enter!
Prizes: Best Lady Vampiress • Best Gentleman Vampire • Most Creative Costume
Entry deadline: 9:30 PM Winners announced: 10:30 PM
Our mysterious judges select the finalists. The crowd chooses the winners.

Samaritan House

For the security guard sleeping in his car. Or the teacher whose emergency room visit put her a month behind on rent. Or the mom working three jobs to make sure her kids have food and clothes. For all who are struggling to make ends meet, Samaritan House is here to help. For over 50 years, Samaritan House has been leading the fight against poverty in San Mateo County. We are the only organization that delivers essential services and personalized support to connect the people living in poverty among us to the full range of resources and services they need. More than just ensuring our clients are fed, clothed, healthy, and housed, we help them create their own stability and remain an active, successful part of the community. Over recent years, many more families in San Mateo County have been thrust into poverty. From the COVID-19 pandemic, to increasing wealth inequality, to the impacts of inflation and the housing crisis, the financial pressures on our neighbors have grown. Through it all, Samaritan House has been here to help – keeping pace with the demand and opening up new possibilities for people living in poverty. Though the road ahead is uncertain, we remain steadfast to our commitment to helping over 32,000 of our neighbors living in poverty every year. With each action, each conversation, and each new program we develop, we are Fighting poverty. Lifting lives.
