Bertagna Roast
I've done a few roasts in my time, but this one should be an especially good one.
Councilor Steve Bertagna will be roasted for a good cause to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters.
The E-R's David Little, The News & Review's Evan Tuchinsky, Fit One owner Tony DeLuca, and others will participate in the roasting.
I hope District Attorney Mike Ramsey doesn't make a special appearance to reenact exchanging a $1 bill with Bertagna during the roast. That might not be very funny.
Hopefully, Tom Gascoyne and Kelly Meagher will be added to the roast line-up just to make sure the comments are entirely unpredictable.
The co-hosts, John Anderson and David Kim from New Urban Builders, are running for BIG Dynamic Duo to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters:
"Steve Bertagna: Roasted and Toasted will be a special evening on Sunday, September 28th from 4-7 p.m. at Canyon Oaks Country Club. John Anderson and David Kim will MC the event. A line up of roasters from across the community is preparing for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Of course, Steve will have the last word!"
Bertagna having the last word. Now that's a dangerous proposition. In all seriousness, if I can even be serious writing about a roast, hats off to Bertagna for subjecting himself to ridicule to benefit a good cause.
But then again, I guess some people could argue he's already been subjecting himself to ridicule twice a month for 12 years by serving on the Chico City Council.
Tickets can be purchased at New Urban Builders at 360 E. 6th Street. There will be hors d’oeuvres and a no-host bar. The tickets are $40 in advance or $45 at the door. All proceeds benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Today's Scrabble word is ixia, a flowering plant.

Actually I am trying to add Tom Gascoyne to the list along with Barbara Vlamis...
