SOMETHING WORTH READING
Introducing Karyl Lammers -
Our Downtown Main Street Ambassador!
Paso Robles is on the map! Visitors from all
over the world are discovering what we as residents
and business owners enjoy and appreciate
every day! From the wineries, historic points
of interest, unique museums, fine hotels and
dining, shopping, entertainment and cultural
events, Downtown Paso Robles is usually where
the journey begins for many of our guests.
Karyl Lammers now holds the distinct honor
of being our Main Street Ambassador. She
not only represents the heart of downtown
and its Main Street members — promotes
the commerce and vitality of the entire North
County.
“As the Main Street Ambassador, it is my
honor and pleasure to help make this happen.
I ask where our visitors are from (Templeton to
New Zealand!) and what brings them to Paso!”
Lammers said. “I introduce myself, welcome
them to Paso Robles, offer my business card,
the Main Street Directory and ask how I can
assist with their visit. They love the fact that
there is an Ambassador to greet them personally!
They enjoy sharing stories with me. We
part with a handshake.
“Currently I am downtown two days a week
greeting visitors, locals, business owners and
their employees with cordial conversation;
offering suggestions for shopping, dining and
sight-seeing. People are so grateful when I
tell them that our downtown stores are independently
owned so the owners can provide
the most unique items. I often find myself
talking to our residents; telling them they are
as blessed as I am to live here. We enjoy conversations
and share fun stories about all things
Paso. I offer the Directory, so they know the
events and the businesses they may need and
not know about!”
“Businesses in Paso Robles are THE BEST!!
I have the privilege of representing Downtown
Main Street to the business owners, so I can
Karyl Lammers,
our Main Street
Ambassador
better refer them to the people I meet. The reception
is warm, friendly and exciting!! I have gained
even more love and respect for every business!”
“I’ve lived and loved Paso Robles for 28
years, moving from Ventura; serving as Executive
Director for 17 years for the Paso Robles
Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center; preparing
me to become the Ambassador for the
Main Street Association. After meeting many
visitors over the years, I know what they are
looking for and what they enjoy.
