• DAY BY DAY : Very young models posed around the county to help raise money for Friends of Hearst Castle.

# Local toddlers traveled throughout the county to create the 2007 Beach Babies charity calendar. Eighteen children took part in the calendar, which helps raise funds for Friends of Hearst Castle.

Friends of Hearst Castle is a nonprofit association that funds educational, interpretive, and artifact conservation programs at one of the Central Coast's finest historical landmarks.

To benefit the group, local photographer Dusty Kenney of Dusty Image Salon in Cayucos put together a calendar that illustrates life on the Central Coast, vintage style. The calendar can be picked up at Borders, Magic Windows Coffee Cafe, Soto's Market, and Spencer's Fresh Market.
