Paint Me Mendo Contest & La Jolla Family Fun Day!

At Mendocino Farms, we see ourselves as more than a restaurant; our mission is to be a neighborhood gathering place and a resource for our community. That’s why we’re especially thrilled to be partnering with five local elementary schools in our new neighborhood of La Jolla to have their students paint mini “Mendo the Cow” statues for display in our restaurant.

Painting Mendo the Cow

Students at Doyle, Spreckels, Torrey Pines, Bird Rock, and La Jolla Elementary Schools will be competing to win a $1000 cash prize for their art program, and the community (that means YOU!) will be voting to choose the winning cow!

Please RSVP NOW to join us for Family Fun Day on Saturday, February 4th from 12-3, when the students will be presenting their painted cows and voting will begin! Please read on below for full details on how to vote! The day will be filled with fun events and activities including face painting, arts & crafts, games & prizes, free samples, and an interactive kids band playing at 1:15pm! Your kids won’t want to miss it, so make sure you RSVP HERE to reserve your spot!
