SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stratus Media Group, Inc. (OTCBB:SMDI) announced today that Leisure Society has become a sponsor of the inaugural Mille Miglia North America Tribute (MMNAT) and 25th Santa Barbara Concours d’Elegance.
Leisure Society has agreed to provide sunglasses or eyewear for MMNAT competitors and host a cocktail party at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club on the evening of October 28th. In addition, Leisure Society will have a lounge on the field to show off their terrific offerings at the Concours d’Elegance event.
Bringing the 84-year-old spirit of the “Red Arrow” to the Golden State, the MMNAT will begin in Santa Barbara on October 26, and cover 1,000 miles of stunning coastal routes and historic back roads through California’s Central Coast, Monterey Peninsula, and San Francisco Bay Area.
Abiding by the elite standards set by the Italian Mille Miglia, the MMNAT will feature European and American vehicles manufactured between 1927 and 1957. Alfa Romeos, Austin-Healeys, Ferraris, and other treasured collector cars will take to the California roadways.
The conclusion of the MMNAT will coincide with the start of the 25th Santa Barbara Concours d’Elegance, which will celebrate its silver Anniversary with some of the biggest names and brands in the automotive industry. The weekend will feature the Worldwide Classics Automotive Show on Saturday, October 29, followed by the traditional Concours d’Elegance on Sunday. Weekend festivities will also include the 2nd Annual Vino d’Elegance, featuring tastings from some of California’s finest wineries, exclusive cooking demonstrations from “Hell’s Kitchen” Chef Scott Liebfried, and book signings by author of the best-selling novel Sideways and the recently released Vertical Rex Pickett.
“Classical design is never more on display than in the various timeless designs of the automobile industry,” said Leisure Society CEO Shane Baum. “Being associated with the inaugural Mille Miglia North America Tribute and Santa Barbara Concours de Elegance provides the natural setting that attracts the aesthetic consumer and allows Leisure Society to showcase their offerings in the most flattering way.”
