I don’t know about you, but if you haven’t been to Christmas Around the Drive in San Marino, you are missing out on the true family, small town celebration.  My kids have always looked forward to seeing what activities will be offered by our wonderful San Marino businesses.  One year there was face painting.  Another year, an artist was there to sketch caricatures of the kids.

Each year, we have an opportunity to meet new neighbors and old friends and enjoy catching up, taking a trolley ride around Huntington Drive (between Bedford and Del Mar) and stopping by to say hello to our local businesses.

Don’t miss it this Friday, December 5th from 5 pm to 8:30 pm.  And, don’t forget that Santa will actually be making a trip to our very own San Marino and will be waiting for you (old or young!) at 6 pm in front of San Marino City Hall.

If you take pictures that you’d like to share on this site, please email them to me at Irina@Irina4RealEstate.com and I’ll be happy to post them.

Look forward to seeing you this Friday!

P.S. Photo above was taken by Sweet Pickles at The Huntington Library in San Marino, California. She says “I loved that all of these santas were in the same box. It reminds me of Virginia O’Hanlon’s quest to determine if Santa Claus exists.”

On Saturday, Huntington Middle School had their annual Hauntington Breakfast. Many showed up to support the school. The PTA did a spectacular job with decorations, preparing and serving yummy pancakes. Wolfgang Puck’s catering company was on hand to serve VIP patrons.

Following the breakfast, San Marino’s Lacy Park hosted their first annual Halloween Dog Parade. The doggies in their Halloween best were given awards for the Cutest Costume, Most Creative, Dog/Owner Look Alike and many more.
