What’s happening
on Main Street?
By Millie Drum
While we don’t
turn the clocks back until Sunday,
November 2, the signs of the season’s
change are all around us. After
a long, late and hot summer, autumn
is the reminder that the holidays are
coming soon! The turning leaves, a
chilly evening and even a little frost
on the pumpkin will be welcome!
Main Street is busy planning the
holidays; looking back at the success
with lavender in July, olives in
August ….and now honey in October.
The Golden Oak Festival has
been revived with the little honey
bee and its sweet inspirations.
Golden Oak Honey Festival
is October 25
Chairman Jodi Tellier has
reached out to the community for
“BEE” topics that have created a
new theme to the popular Golden
Oak Festival. Executive Director
Norma Moye compliments Jodi
by saying, “She is just great!” Along
with the usual festival activities
that include vendor booths, merchandise
for sale, food, and dance

It’s only natural to Sheryl Manske
to “Be Generous.” It’s not only
the name of her salon; it’s a way
of life for her now. This gesture of
generosity comes from a place of
fear and despair. Sheryl Manske
had a secure job and a nice life
with her husband and 3 children.
In an instant, she was a single
mother who lost her job, no spousal
support and her home was in
foreclosure. Sheryl adds, “It was
indescribable. I was scrambling to
figure out what on earth to do!”
With a biology degree and no local
jobs in that field, Sheryl relied
on a small investment and was
able to get a grant to go back to
school. Then a friend gave Sheryl
the loving advice she needed. “You
put yourself through grad school
doing makeup. Now, go get your
cosmetology license!
In the meantime, Sheryl
worked two jobs and went to
performances, this year “honey and
bee” related contests and seminars
will be presented
throughout the day.
The festival runs
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
on October 25.
Bee Hive Hair-Do Contest
Licensed hair stylists are invited
to participate in the competition
for the most creative bee hive hairstyle
with three winners named
in the categories of Crazy, Tallest
and Traditional Bee Hive Hair
Do! The $5 entry fee will go to the
Paso Robles High School senior
class and a salon product for the
winner’s basket. The winning hairstylists
also get an opportunity to
showcase their talent at the high
school winter formal/prom show
that is by invitation only. The bee
hive hairstyles will be judged by a
panel of students in the afternoon.
For information and to register to
be a bee hive hairstylist, call Gina at
Bee Hive Salon at 835-2366.
Among the seminars and information
booths, members of the
Central Coast Beekeepers Alliance
school full time. Now Sheryl is
using her talents and generous
heart to help other women BE
the best they can BE. Sheryl has
had an “army of angels” helping
her through her journey through
a “great fall from a cloud with
a huge pillow to land on.”
The next crisis was the diagnosis
– stage 3 colon cancer. Her
angels lined up through chemo,
radiation, surgery and the cancer
is gone. While managing the wig
will be available to discuss the importance
of bees and other pollinators
and how we can help them
pollinate our crops and gardens
throughout the year and especially
at bloom time. An observation hive
will be on display.
A Spelling Bee hosted by the
Optimist Club is sure to attract the
most studious students and scholars
that take this kind of competition
seriously! The creative arts
will be represented by a Quilting
Bee and a Youth Art Show.
It’s time to TRICK or
TREAT and vote for your
favorite Scarecrows!
This month, Main Street’s annual
Scarecrow Contest takes
place as scarecrows start appearing
at downtown businesses each of
whom will have a ballot box. Stop
in to cast your vote for your favorite.
Later in the month, the business
will pull the winner’s ballot
and award them a prize.
Get ready for family fun! Halloween
on a Friday gives parents
a little bit of a break! The fun begins
at 3 o’clock with the Safe &
Fun Halloween Trick of Treat
at the downtown businesses. A 4
o’clock, the other spooky activities
begin with photos with the
witches at 12th and Park St. (if
you dare – they are really scary!)
and a BBQ in the City Park until 7
p.m. benefiting the Historical Society.
Bring your carved pumpkin
to the City Park Fountain for the
contest judging at 6 p.m. A rendition
of the popular “Thriller” will
be performed by the Paso Robles
Youth Arts Foundation in addition
to dances by A Class Act Dance!

She adds,
“To this day, I wish
I could thank those
people. While I
don’t have a lot of money, I do
have a generous heart.” That’s
how the idea for the “Be Generous”
