Free holiday fun beginning

The Historic Downtown Merchants Association is presenting Joyful Traditions for three Sundays: December 3, 10 and 17, from noon to 4:00 p.m. The event will take place at the Village Square on the corner of Main and Alvarado in downtown Fallbrook. Along with Christmas entertainment there will be crafts for kids, wagon rides, refreshments, Santa Claus and Miss Fallbrook and her court. Mayor Rhonda Reinke is sponsoring a scavenger hunt that offers a free Caffé Primo gift card for those completing the hunt as well as a chance to win the grand prize raffle valued at over $1,500! Sweet Leilani’s grilled foods will also be available. Over 30 downtown merchants will be open on these Sundays.
