Harmony Cellars' Holiday Open House and Tree Lighting
2016-12-04 11:00 - 16:00 UTC | Save the date
Join us on December 4th from 11am-4pm!

Harmony Cellars will light a Christmas tree made entirely of wine barrel staves at their Holiday Open House & Tree Lighting. The tree, created by winemaker and co-owner Chuck Mulligan in 2013, stands 10 feet tall on Harmony’s hilltop patio. . “Christmas has always been a special time for me. I love to decorate my home and the tasting room. While I was building the tree, going overboard as usual, I thought maybe we could use this tree to benefit the children in our community,” says Chuck Mulligan. Every December, bows to decorate the tree are sold to raise money for a local non-profit organization. This year Harmony Cellars is excited to partner with Big Brothers, Big Sisters of San Luis Obispo County!
Bows begin at $5 each and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to this organization. Bow will be sold December 4th—December 31st.
All are welcome to attend Harmony’s Holiday Open House & Tree Lighting on Sunday, December 4th from 11am to 4pm. Guests will be offered mulled (spiced) wine, holiday sweets and the opportunity to shop at an Artisan Showcase featuring locally made jewelry and rustic home art. Guests who arrive in festive, holiday attire will be entered into a raffle to win wine-related swag (drawings will be held throughout the day!). Special discounts on wine and merchandise, too. No reservations. Harmony Cellars’ is located just off Highway 1 in the town of Harmony. The tasting room is open daily 10am to 5pm. Harmony 3255 Harmony Valley Road. 805.927.1625.

About the Fun Run

With the spirit of our imagination, Heritage Oaks Bank has embarked on a journey to bring the Central Coast a fun-filled, family-oriented event. Now in its 18th year, the Fun Run has certainly evolved over the years, but the vision remains rooted deeply in community – supporting local non-profit organizations and providing an event for the great people of the Central Coast.

The Fun Run will evolve again in 2016 with an even stronger commitment to raising funds for our non-profit organizations. This year all race entry fees will be donated to the Paso Robles Library Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters and Food Bank of San Luis Obispo County.

Cow Parade
2016-09-17 - 2017-04-30 | CA
San Luis Obispo County Cow Parade

CowParade™ is an international moo-ving public art exhibit that has been featured in major world cities including Paris, Hong Kong, Athens, Moscow, Milan, London, New York, Cannes, Rio, Rome and beyond. CowParade has been staged in over 75 cities and towns, bringing smiles to more than 250 million people worldwide. Each CowParade shares a few common elements – community involvement, sponsors, artists, charities, beautiful cows, increased tourism and notoriety.
More than 5,000 cows – no two alike – have gone on display since CowParade’s inception in 1999, benefiting scores of local non-profits by raising more than $30 million for charity.
CowParade SLO County will showcase 101 (for Highway 101) of these life-size, 120-pound, fiberglass works of art. Taking place September 2016 – May 2017, the event will give local artists a chance to showcase their talents on a global stage. The region’s agricultural history, growing arts scene and its ecotourism draw make CowParade the perfect conduit for a countywide event that will involve, unite and benefit the whole community.
A variety of events are scheduled throughout the year to exhibit these works of art until they are auctioned off for charity early in spring 2017, with net proceeds benefiting three title charities, including the California Mid-State Fair Heritage Foundation, The Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County, and ARTS Obispo, as well as other county non-profit organizations.
