ROUND TOWN<br />
WHAT ’S HAPPENING<br />
ON MAIN STREET ?<br />
By Millie Drum<br />
Paso is Cool!<br />
Everything that makes a small town great is<br />
happening on Main Street! In case you haven’t<br />
heard, Paso Robles was named one of the<br />
Coolest Towns in California by the travel website<br />
Matador Network. We ranked #13 out of<br />
#25. Pretty good for a small town that stacked<br />
up against so many more. It’s Where Everyone<br />
Comes Together. Mark your calendar for the<br />
holiday season events.<br />
<strong>November</strong> 10<br />
Elegant Evening Downtown<br />
The downtown businesses wish to thank<br />
you, the community, for your loyal patronage<br />
throughout the year and especially during the<br />
holiday season. On Saturday, <strong>November</strong> 10,<br />
our downtown becomes an evening of hospitality.<br />
Look closely for the whimsical live mannequins<br />
in the store windows compliments of<br />
the North County Dance and Performing Arts<br />
Studio. Enjoy the Christmas lights, tinsel and<br />
trim…. rejoice in the season!<br />
The evening ends with the much-anticipated<br />
drawing for art by John Partridge and Anne<br />
Laddon. Prior to and on Elegant Evening, visit<br />
participating businesses to enter the drawing.<br />
The winners will be announced at Studios on<br />
the Park, 1130 Pine Street.<br />
<strong>November</strong> 23<br />
Holiday Craft Bazaar<br />
The day after Thanksgiving kicks-off the holiday<br />
gift shopping season! Crafters and artists<br />
will create a holiday handmade marketplace of<br />
handmade items in the Downtown City Park<br />
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Return the next day for<br />
Shop Small Saturday and support our small<br />
businesses before Cyber Monday!<br />
<strong>November</strong> 23<br />
Light the Town for Santa’s Arrival!<br />
It’s the 32nd year of “The Downtown Lighting<br />
Ceremony” in the City Park at 5:30 with candlelight<br />
caroling and cookies! Master of Ceremonies,<br />
Chad Stevens, leads the caroling with the<br />
Snow King and Queen and Santa’s elves joining<br />
in! At 6:00 sharp, Mrs. Claus flips the giant light<br />
switch to light the trees to welcome Santa Claus’<br />
arrival at the Christmas Light Parade on Satur-<br />
day, Dec. 1. The Main Street Association also<br />
partners with Cancer Support Community with<br />
the Paso’s Lights of Hope ceremony that honors<br />
cancer survivors and those we’ve lost. Visit pasorobleslightsofhope.org.<br />

A “Cowboy Christmas” Parade!<br />
The 57th annual Holiday Light Parade has a<br />
western, hometown theme. Shine you boots<br />
