“Yeah. That's a great way to get your spring cleaning going if you've got, you know, paint or batteries or other chemicals that are in your garage or floating around your house,” Maya Acosta said during the segment, citing Kern County Public Works as the likely sponsoring agency.

The podcast did not provide drop‑off location details beyond “the local dump,” nor did it provide information on limits per vehicle, fees, or whether proof of residency is required.

The city is soliciting local farmers, vendors, artisans, prepared‑food vendors, musicians and entertainers and asked applicants to include photos or social‑media links to help staff evaluate fit.

Applications open now and will close in mid‑April, hosts said. Organizers emphasized selection is not strictly first‑come; after the city collects applications, staff will review all submissions and select vendors that best fit the mix for the market. Hosts also warned space is limited and encouraged prospective vendors to provide complete documentation early in the process to allow time for follow‑up requests.

“Once we collect all of the applications, we go through and see what vendors and farmers are a best fit for our market,” Claire Scottie said during the segment, noting the selection process is curated rather than automatic.

The announcement did not provide fees, exact start date for market operations, or an online application URL during the segment; hosts directed potential applicants to the City of Tehachapi website for the application form and submission instructions.","The City of Tehachapi is accepting applications for farmers market vendors, artisans and entertainers; applications close mid‑April and vendor selection will prioritize market fit over arrival order.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":92,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":-5,"_68":69,"_70":-5,"_71":56,"_72":56},6659502,"City of Tehachapi launches ‘Shop to a Team’ program for March to boost local spending",71,601000,672000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2459724-afe8e45f1f838b5364cd3ed268161d1c&start=601&end=672","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2459724-afe8e45f1f838b5364cd3ed268161d1c/thumbnail_601000.jpg","/articles/6659502/City-of-Tehachapi-launches-Shop-to-a-Team-program-for-March-to-boost-local-spending","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6659502-106ed97e2862c04a59e65e2f77e8b692/orig.mp4?Expires=1771107509&Signature=NOWeUTdcQrSDZCq5mpFS0yOrSp2tpAKClc6H7ga0z-nZebULOIvpFdQnedkQ0FqixDdF1sw9TIK0yfZcTMV9U7lhrQewCev8RatG-duB4jMTdmzY9mzoZ2K0mUsWG4A7Yif6~tDG2DIRNLMweFQOrqQ1e95W27tFxy59B6WFhe8w-m5k5yWpEq9WYcnKPG6T7Cxz4qix78luOiTtXgCD5qkmAwxFnrIzNcs11iDArK4gy0jr23Mj4TFndNNito3X2w3t99Pz7hJ1fExTy8CBr6XElXTTtBawpSjXEl0FSd7hJ~hfdAo~0zFmMXt4eatDf6YsoLykuXk0Nmz63446gw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Tehachapi announced a Shop to a Team program intended to encourage residents to shop at independent, in‑city businesses during March. Hosts on the City’s Tachpod described the program’s mechanics: residents collect receipts showing at least $50 in purchases at participating local businesses and bring them to City Hall in exchange for a Tehachapi T‑shirt.

Organizers said receipts must be dated within the month of March and that receipts from chain big‑box stores are excluded; hosts named Walmart, Albertsons and Home Depot as examples of excluded retailers. Program materials provided during the segment state one T‑shirt per $50 of qualifying receipts; multiple shirts may be earned by submitting multiples of $50. The program begins the first Saturday of March; organizers noted residents can bring receipts to City Hall starting Monday and that distribution continues through March or while supplies last. Hosts warned that designs, sizes and colors are limited.

The podcast clarified the geographic requirement: qualifying purchases must be made within the city limits of Tehachapi. The hosts encouraged prompt participation but said the City will reconcile applications and inventory at City Hall, and that shirts may run out before the end of the month.

“Bring the $50 worth of receipts into City Hall and then you will earn a free Tehachapi T‑shirt,” said Maya Acosta, co‑host of the Tachpod. The podcast promoted the program as a follow-up to a successful holiday “Reindeer Rush” promotion and encouraged local spending at small businesses including restaurants and retailers mentioned during the segment.

For details about participating merchants and available T‑shirt designs, hosts directed listeners to the City of Tehachapi website and city social media channels.","City program gives residents a Tehachapi T‑shirt for every $50 in local receipts submitted during March; receipts from big-box stores are excluded and shirts are limited while supplies last.",{"_33":98,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":99,"_41":100,"_43":101,"_45":102,"_47":103,"_49":104,"_51":105,"_53":106,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":107,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":108,"_67":-5,"_68":69,"_70":-5,"_71":56,"_72":56},6659505,"Tehachapi weekend roundup: breweries, wineries, theater and free community events",229,368000,597000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2459724-afe8e45f1f838b5364cd3ed268161d1c&start=368&end=597","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2459724-afe8e45f1f838b5364cd3ed268161d1c/thumbnail_368000.jpg","/articles/6659505/Tehachapi-weekend-roundup-breweries-wineries-theater-and-free-community-events","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6659505-52a0062e9b1e0bbb5db13664b653ec90/orig.mp4?Expires=1771107509&Signature=DSi0h9GLnpLijk6OzoyP9FtwgdgsXLpfbzLPiiSp1dSAnA~fqbcoeoWa0eJQDqdvhSYc1E9saHzUl0F8lfzmQNZFoj1RkcMNRXE5oqNs2I67QGD0qdsaaABjQMtyNylRjwYMM7Bx-Py1gn4mvI~PfzMdiX6r5jRfpCdtz~gKu2E8vOVFophSwmP-Zd~om9JIZ1BaECVaPLOG47ss0bkMIK9ZtC6~lH9aIKENe~tdR78tcvM2ALwii2fLnZj1JYZGO~BRoZ7K14mCE3DDTd~6QtsOlIvp7siyELN6EqhNXb2s6KEBcIDxkLTFvei0vy~BzCsh02zAmGK2~k5mQAYVXg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Claire Scottie, co-host of the City of Tehachapi’s Tachpod, and co-host Maya Acosta outlined live-music, wine and family events happening across Tehachapi this week.

The pair highlighted regular and special programming at local breweries and wineries: West Lane Brewing hosts Teacher Night on Fridays and a monthly House of Wax vinyl event; Local Craft Beer runs an open mic night on Thursdays and a Geeks Who Drink trivia night on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.; Mountain Brewing offers an open mic on Tuesdays and scheduled live acts on weekends. Tehachapi Winery has a comedy night on March 8 and charcuterie service throughout the weekend. Stray Leaves is holding a wine-club pickup party on March 22; La Bodega de Castillo is hosting a food-and-wine pairing Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m.; the pairing costs $50 and reservations are requested at (661) 912-2311.

Hosts named several specific performers scheduled this weekend: Joey Koontz and Joey Strader at Tach Winery (weekend sets from 2 to 5 p.m.), Perry Richmond at Mountain Brewing, Devin Brinsfield on Sunday 1 to 4 p.m., and a new band called Pass On performing Saturday from 3 to 5 p.m. The VFW is running karaoke on Friday from 8 p.m. into the early morning.

Family- and community-focused offerings include Home Depot’s kids’ craft on Saturday at 9 a.m.; the public library’s calendar (story time, teen manga, volunteer orientation, teen Dungeons & Dragons, toddler time, ASL club, Untitled Writing Group, Teen Advisory Board and Preschool Storytime on designated days); and an upcoming county orchestra concert on March 9 at Country Oaks Baptist Church at 4 p.m. The Tehachapi Symphony concert is free with donations requested at entry and is expected to include guest musicians and a silent auction; more information is available at TehachapiOrchestra.com or by phone at (661) 823-8249.

“I'm delightful,” Claire Scottie said early in the segment as she introduced the spring lineup of community events. The hosts framed the listings as options for residents to get outdoors and support local businesses as the hills green up with seasonal rain.

For full schedules and any last-minute changes, hosts directed listeners to local business pages and the City of Tehachapi’s social media channels.","Local hosts list weekend music, wine and family activities across Tehachapi, including brewery open mics, winery performances, a comedy night and library programs.","actionData","errors"]
