Dear Area Guests,
About four years ago Presenting
Magazine, Inc. was privileged to help
launch the first issue of Presenting
Magazine. With over a 15 year
background in publishing and creating
hotel guest directories it is a natural fit
to do a hotel guest magazine.
We want to maintain a top quality publication that hotels can be proud to
offer their guests. We sincerely hope you find this offering of maps,
shopping and dining recommendations, travel tips and area information
helpful during your stay.
Presenting, Inc. would like to thank the these
contributors for providing photographs and content:

Presenting, Inc. has made best efforts to verify accuracy
of telephone numbers, address and any other
information provided. Presenting, Inc. will not
be held responsible for any inaccuracies of
information in this publication.
Your hotel has arranged for Presenting Magazine to be made available at no
charge to their guests as an added service. The advertisers promoted in the
magazine make it all possible and welcome you to the area and their
businesses. So please give them a try. Presenting Magazine is meant to serve
as a useful overview of the most needed, or hopefully interesting,
information for a short term visitor to the area. Consider this a good list of
many of the best, but far from all of the things to do, places to dine and
areas to shop. The area is far too rich in possibilities and our visitors too
diverse in their interests to get it all between the covers of a single magazine.

January-June 2010
COMMUNITY GUIDE - AGOURA HILLS, THOUSAND OAKS, WESTLAKE VILLAGE
Agoura Hills
The community’s name was chosen to honor
early settler Pierre Augoure in 1928, but through
misspelling or for ease of pronunciation, the
Postal Service changed it to Agoura, becoming
Agoura Hills with the city’s incorporation.
Located in the Santa Monica Mountain foothills
just 30 minutes from many urban centers, the
city sits among oak-covered canyons and rolling
hillsides and is just minutes from ocean beaches.
Visitors who like the great outdoors will enjoy this
“Gateway to the Santa Monica Mountains
National Recreation Area with hiking and biking
trails in over 80 acres, in six parks, ranging from
small neighborhood parks to an equestrian
center. The Reyes Adobe Historical Site at the
base of Ladyface Mountain represents 150 years
of exciting California history through documented
stories and artifacts from the families that have
called the Reyes Adobe home since 1850.
Arts Center. This is the largest performing arts
center between Los Angeles and San Francisco
and is funded through a unique public/private
partnership between the City of Thousand Oaks
and the Alliance for the Arts. Shoppers will
appreciate The Oaks Mall and Janss
Marketplace both offering miles of shopping
experience. High-end retailers, world-class
dining and cinema experiences make these
malls a destination in and of themselves. For
those seeking out historical sights, visit the
Stagecoach Inn Museum Complex which
includes a pioneer home, a Spanish-Mexican
adobe and a Chumash Ap (tule dwelling) as well
as the Stagecoach Inn originally known as the
Grand Union Hotel when it was built in 1876.
Westlake Village
Westlake Village is a very well-planned
community that boasts award-winning
neighborhoods, thriving businesses and
enviable lifestyles while preserving and
enhancing the natural environment of the area.
Visitors will see that this community is ideal.
The beach is nearby, Thousand Oaks Civic Arts
Plaza is just up the road, as is the intellectual
climate of California Lutheran University. The
whole Conejo Valley beckons hikers and
bicyclists wih its miles of mountain and canyon
trails. This exclusive community, centered on
Westlake Lake is often thought of as an ideal
spot to take a vacation. Don’t be surprised to
see electric boats motoring up and down the
main lake, as well as past the many well kept
backyard docks surrounding the island.
Children will enjoy feeding the various species
of ducks and geese that populate the lake area.
Anyone can take in the neighborhood splendor
from the marina board walk or lakeside dining
at the many restaurants at The Landing.
Thousand Oaks
The name, presumably for the area’s many oak
trees, first appears on a track map in 1923.
Today it is home to Amgen, Inc., the largest
biotechnology company in the world and
Ventura County’s largest private employer.
Annually, it is among the safest small cities in
America. The residents are serious about
preserving the ring of open space surrounding
the city, with local and city groups continuing to
buy more land to save it from development.
A visit to this area must include the Thousand
Oaks Civic Arts Plaza’s Countrywide Performing

COMMUNITY GUIDE - SIMI VALLEY
Simi Valley
The name comes from a Chumash Indian word,
shimiji, which refers to the thread-like clouds
that appear sometimes over the valley. Located
at the edge of eastern Ventura County encircled
by beautiful hills, Simi Valley is a haven away
from the congestion of the San Fernando Valley
and Los Angeles County and is consistently
rated one of the safest cities in the nation.
Visitors come by the “busloads” to the home of
the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and
Museum, which hosts the Air Force One
Pavillion. Corriganville Park is another mustsee, once known for being the backdrop of
many western movies and television shows.
The city is also host to the annual Cajun
Festival, a weekend-long event that showcases
New Orleans Jazz, blues, Cajun and Creole
music as well as authentic N’awlins cuisine from
jambalaya to fried alligator.
Preserving the tradition of the old west, one Simi
Valley neighborhood still provides bridlepaths for
horses instead of sidewalks.

COMMUNITY GUIDE - OJAI
Ojai
Ojai has it all. When it comes to a day trip, a
weekend stay, a month’s vacation, or even the
ideal place to live, Ojai is blessed. An hour and a
half north of Los Angeles and within easy striking
distance of the ocean at Ventura and Santa
Barbara, Ojai is a gem. Scenically it’s beautiful.
Years ago, when Hollywood's Frank Capra filmed
Shangri-La for the movie Lost Horizons, he chose
Ojai. It’s a long East/West valley full of oaks,
orange and avocado groves surrounded by
mountains that seem to enfold it and give it its
small self contained community air. It’s Ojai, not
on the way to anywhere, not between anywhere,
just a haven of quiet peace and civility in a world
that's short of both.
There are bike trails, horse trails, hiking trails
through national forest, rocky scrub and
waterfalls, and everywhere, anywhere in the
valley, there are breathtaking views. There are
gourmet restaurants and fresh baked pastry
shops, its home to artists and potters and
craftsmen, and stores and studios that sell their
wares. There’s the Ojai Valley Inn with a golf
course to challenge the pros and there’s the
bucolic county run Soule Park course, where the
trick is to get in early. There are public tennis
courts of rare quality and there are tennis clubs
with gyms and pools. In short, OJAI HAS IT ALL.
Yet there is a quiet vibrancy that comes through
in its famous Tennis Tournament, The Ojai Music
Festival where the L.A. Philharmonic under world
renowned conductors play in a bowl setting that
is exquisite. It has its Shakespeare Festival, its
Film Festival, and the Indian Pow-Wow just down
the road at Lake Casitas. There is always
something going on, all pretty big events and yet,
in its own Ojai way, all no big deal.

COMMUNITY GUIDE - VENTURA
Ventura
The city’s official name of San Buenaventura
(Saint Bonaventure, an Italian theologian) was
shortened to Ventura, reportedly because the
full name did not fit on railroad timetables. It is
more generally assumed that the shorter name
was simply more convenient.
Visitors have many choices. Ventura is home of
the Ventura County Museum of History & Art,
site of the Ventura County Fair, San
Buenaventura State Beach, the Ventura Harbor,
Ventura Pier and Channel Islands National Park.
The historic Mission San Buenaventura is still
used for regular Catholic Church services and is
open to the public.

COMMUNITY GUIDE - CAMARILLO, OXNARD
Visitors will enjoy touring the 4.5 acre Camarillo
Ranch. Walk through the richly restored ranch
home and experience the grandeur of residing
in a 6,000 square-foot house. Old Town is
another attraction. You might not realize it if
you’re just whizzing by on Highway 101, but
Old Town is not just the older commercial strip
along Ventura Boulevard just south of the
freeway. This whole area is really the heart of
the old Camarillo “town site” that was first laid
out back in 1910.
opportunities. At Channel Islands Harbor and
along the shoreline, boating, kayaking,
sportfishing, surfing and biking are popular
past-times. In downtown, Heritage Square and
the Carnegie Art Museum are two "must see"
cultural attractions. Oxnard also offers two
popular stops on the Ventura County Wine Trail
at Herzog Wine Cellars and Rancho Ventavo
Cellars.
Oxnard
Named for the Henry T. Oxnard family who
developed one of the city's first industries - a
sugar beet factory - the city of Oxnard is
surrounded by some of the richest agricultural
land in the world. Its farming heritage is
celebrated annually at the California Strawberry
Festival in May and the spicy Salsa Festival in
July. As the gateway to Channel Islands
National Park, just 11 miles offshore, Oxnard
offers an abundance of outdoor recreational
Camarillo
The city was named for Juan Camarillo who
purchased the almost 10,000 acre Rancho
Calleguas in 1875 from Jose Pedro Ruiz.
Geographically near Ventura County’s center,
Camarillo is one of the area’s fastest growing
cities with new housing projects bringing more
residents to town.

Adventure Options and Memory Makers
Whale Watching, Thrill Rides and More!
Nature Lover? Thrill Seeker? The central
coast has a little something for everyone.
From boating excursions to museums, to
great hikes, there are many wonderful
activities to explore.
Various whale watching excursion packages are
available through Island Packers.
www.islandpackers.com, (see ad on page 1).
The trips are narrated by experienced naturalists
and last about 3 hours.
For a more leisurely day of boating rent your own
electric boat, sailboat, kayak or paddle boat for
the day or hour, and enjoy the harbor and marina
from Hopper Boat Rentals.com (see ad on page
28) or Ventura Boat Rentals.com (see ad on
inside front cover) or relax and enjoy their dinner
& sunset cruises for more romantic memories.
Not sure how to paddleboard? Ventura County
Stand-Up Paddleboard School can help. Call
to schedule lessons for the whole family. (see ad
on page 1)
Ready for a good laugh? Ventura Harbor
Comedy Club (see ad on page 1) offers worldclass comedy and improv groups.
Why not relax and take in the beautiful ocean
view while sipping premium wine and dining on
freshly prepared tapas at Andre’s Wine and
Tapas Bar? (see ad on page 1). Or stay for
dinner and watch the sunset at Andria’s Seafood
(see ad on page 1).
While your in Simi Valley don’t forget the Arena
Sports Bar & Grill at the Grand Vista Hotel. Live
music and dancing nightly. (see ad on page 13)
If you’re in the Conejo Valley, and are feeling a
little stressed, be sure to make an appointment
at La Vida Massage in Thousand Oaks, (see ad
on page 11). There is nothing more relaxing
than a Swedish, Deep Tissue or Hot Stone
massage given by trained, caring professionals.
For an authentic taste of New York in Camarillo
or Conejo Valley, you can’t beat Tony’s New York
Pizza. Dine in or delivery. (see ads on pages 9, 28)

Dreamer’s Dream offers up romantic harbor
dinner and cocktail cruises. (see ad on inside

Find the insider tips for exploring Oxnard at the
Oxnard Visitors Center. (see ad on inside back
cover)
History buffs and admirers of “The Great
Communicator” will want to visit the Ronald
Reagan Presidential Library and Museum (see
ad on page 15) in Simi Valley. The new Air
Force One exhibit is not to be missed and the
grounds, setting and history showcased there is
awe-inspiring. (800) 410-8354 or visit
www.reaganlibrary.com.
The tranquil swimming hole at Malibu Creek State Park is a
great place for hiking, rock climbing, wading, or just quietly
enjoying your lunch.
Children will particularly enjoy sprinting up
steep hills, climbing over boulders, making
walking canes of bamboo, seeing rock climbers
in action, wading in the creek, and even taking
an unauthorized dip in the natural pool.
Jumping from the tall rocks isn’t supposed to be
done, but…
So be daring and creative in beautiful southern
California. Create experiences that provide big
fish, big wave, train robbery or a whale of a tale
no one can challenge when you retell them.
