Hi Everyone -

 

It is a New Year. Before fully accepting that we are mid-way through January already, we need to reflect back on December for a moment and thank those who made IT ALL happen.

The Carriage Ride tradition continued despite a small hiccup regarding a town ordinance which we hope to fix before December of next year! The stately horse-drawn carriages meandered through the Almond Grove and down N. Santa Cruz Avenue carrying families, sweethearts and friends celebrating the holiday season. More than 2,000 people enjoyed the rides again this year. There are so many people to thank for helping make this annual event a success. 

We also decked the Town with a flair this year. More than 300 wreaths with red ribbons donned the trees along the avenues.  Linda Lester - Thank you!   

Our Third Annual Girls Night Out did not disappoint. Reports estimated that more than 225 Los Gatos women were in attendance watching the fabulous Fashion Show.  Dustin David , you outdid yourself with the production and choreography. Cheers to your right hand gals, Stacy Zinn and Amanda and Lindsey, and AV genius Aaron La Morte at AVL.    Thanks to all of the participating boutiques. Also thanks to Mike Rowe at Tezcazul Tequilla , to Marilyn Robbins at Diamond Glacier 33 for the vodka and to Katelin Silfer at the juice Co. lg for the organic mixers. Also thanks to Alex Hult at Flights, Donna Novi at The Pastaria, Nothing Bundt Cakes and Lisa Hauck at the Wine Cellar for all of the amazing food and Recruit RN for sponsoring the desserts. We must thank Federal Realty for allowing us to use that beautiful space and Rosalio Vargas for his artistic flair. Most of all, we want to thank the extremely talented Cherie Rose who so beautifully transformed that empty space into a rocking night club. You made it all come to life Cherie! Enjoy the photos below.
