Santa's come to town

With the recent arrival of old St. Nick, the centre of Fallbrook has become a new hangout for the jolly senior fellow.

Santa this year has decided to hang out for a while up in the beautiful Cape Chestnut tree on North Main Avenue for this holiday season, bringing good cheer and blessings to one and all in our little village.

Jenna Gratz strung new colorful lights up in the tree to add to the holiday festivities and serenades us with seasonal music to enjoy along North Main.

So, come on down to the 2021 Christmas parade on Dec. 4, titled "Miracle on Main," which again returns after a bit of a hiatus.

There will be more colorful floats, music, dancers, marching bands, equestrian riders, classic cars of all sorts, and of course, the big guy.

This spectacular parade will bring groups from all around San Diego County, and this year's grand marshal is Mr. Fallbrook himself, Vince Ross.

Come early to secure a spot along Main Avenue, for the parade starts at 5 p.m, so bundle up and share the spirit of the season with family, friends, and the community.

I sent a letter to the North Pole asking Santa to come early and hang around for the holidays before he does his international flight and says "a good night to all."
