but clichs often become
so because theyre true. Yes,
the drought has taken its toll
on this little slice of paradise

still Ventura County remains

tremendous resources, a

to be able to live in Ventura
County. Just imagine fresh
strawberries from February to
November. Friends from out
of state cant imagine such a
luxury.
Tim Flynn, mayor of
Oxnard, agreed with Brown.

CAMARILLO
Settled by Adolfo Camarillo
in the late 1870s, the quaint
city of Camarillo celebrates
its rich Spanish heritage and
continues to honor agriculture
and farming at its outlying
borders. The Camarillo
Premium Outlets is a major
destination for shoppers and is
the largest source of revenue
for the city. In the heart of
Ventura County, Camarillo
is consistently ranked as one
of Ventura Countys safest
communities and offers an
appealing mixture of rural and
suburban lifestyles where the
sun shines more than 300 days
annually and temperatures
average in the low 70s.

Fillmore calls itself the last,
best small town in Southern
California. This little town in
the Heritage Valley has clung
to its picturesque, turn-of-the20th-century character, which
accounts for why so many
movies and TV shows are
filmed here. Fillmore retains a
largely agricultural character
and also is a hotspot for
outdoor recreation; Lake Piru,
located just outside the town,
is one of Southern Californias
most popular freshwater
getaways.
