OC Guide Dogs toured Segrestrom Center for the Arts

On April 29,2023 members from OC Guide Dogs toured Segrestrom Center for the Arts. Jeff and Mary Lee were incredibly knowledgeable regarding the history of this amazing cultural center that originally was a field of Lima beans!

Besides learning about Segrestrom Center for the Arts, we toured the Rene and Henry Segrestrom Concert Hall and had the opportunity to play a few notes on the pipe organ!

Following the tour, we ate a healthy lunch at the Orange County Museum of Art. Finally, a group of us saw the musical “Hairspray”.

Irvine Regional Park | 11/11/21

We had a great adventure at Irvine regional Park in Orange. Kelley Bruggman was our private docent and she was accompanied by three rangers . We met in the ranger station where a hands-on table was set up  where we were able to touch some animal pelts and skulls  and interact with tactile and braille maps of the park. Our docent gave us an introduction of the Irvine Regional Park before our guided tour. The nature center was open for exploration and afterwards we sat down to eat lunch.
