The Christmas Season is upon us! 

It's time for Santa to head out and start shopping.  Let's head to Downtown Redmond and see what the local merchants have to offer.

Dawson Station is a great place to start, with it's many offerings all from one parking spot!

Christmas Cards are a must, so let's start at Shelf Life Books.  Pick out your cards, a Christmas book for the kids, and a gift for your favorite reader.  Have a nice latte and a seat and get those cards filled out ASAP!

Now off to Cooks N Counters for the chef in the family, with many cooking accessories to choose from.  Is your favorite chef still a chef in training?  Then maybe a cookbook or a variety of gadgets to make even the novice look good.

We've got a little shopping in, so why not stop by Raymond James & Associates for some financial planning advice to kick off the new year.  They will serve you well.

All of that shopping and financial talk has made me hungry!  There is no better place for lunch than the Mustard Seed Cafe, now under new ownership (more on that to follow later!).  A variety of sandwiches, salads and more are sure to fit the tastes of everyone in the group.

It's time to pamper your favorite pooch, so off to Doggie Style, located just across the street.  Pick up a few special treats or have your pet groomed for the holidays.  I can tell you from experience they do an excellent job.

A little more shopping under the belt, now it's time to talk Real Estate.  What better gift could there be than a new home to start the new year?!  At a time when values are to be found, a stop by Desert Sky Real Estate is in order. 

Need some upgraded landscaping for your new home?  Aqua Escape Water Gardens will help you plan that new water feature, a nice touch for any home. 

I don't know about you, but I'm shopped out (well almost) for one day.  Let's top the trip off with a nice glass of wine at WineStyles of Redmond.  As you sip your wine, stroll through the store and pick up those final gifts, including a nice bottle of wine for that next holiday party you're off to.  There are many snacks and accessories to choose from, so you may need one more glass of wine to finish browsing for that perfect gift.

Merry Christmas & Happy Shopping!

Thanksgiving has barely passed and we just couldn't wait to usher in the Christmas Season!

What better way than Redmond's annual Holiday Starlight Parade!  The parade, held in Downtown Redmond, Oregon, starts at dusk and is filled with beautifully lit entries of all shapes and sizes.  Even the horses had twinkle lights!  Although I've lived in Redmond for eight years, this is my first Starlight Parade and I must say it couldn't have been a better first.  The weather was unseasonably warm with only a light jacket needed.  And just in case you got a little chilly, many local merchants had hot chocolate ready and waiting.

The parade started with a string of classic cars decorated for the season.

American Red Cross Disaster Relief

Mark's Auto Body - Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer

A Year of Memories - Local Elementary Students

What better way to top the evening off than the annual Tree-Lighting Ceremony, complete with carolers, candlelight, and Santa!  It was an evening filled with fun for all ages.  Just one more reason to visit our local Central Oregon area, no matter the time of year!
