Looking Up over the SBC Historical Park

I would like to walk up to that ridge above the San Benito County Historical Park, which is just a mile south of Tres Pinos on Highway 25. What a breathtaking sight to behold, I betcha.

Speaking of the historical park, several events will be taking place there tomorrow, June 4:

• Big Barn Sale, a fundraiser for the San Benito County Historical Society, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Seventh Annual Small Engine and Tractor Show
• Grand Opening of the Jack O'Donnell Visitor Center
• Wine Tasting, 5 to 7 p.m., with performances by the San Benito Stage Company and Mr. Ostenson's Save the Music Drive

For more details, check out the San Benito County Historical Society Web site.

Shop Locally: Cherry Tree Photography

Yesterday, I saw signs of another new business starting up in downtown Hollister. Hurrah! Cherry Tree Photography will be occupying the former Maddux Jewelry storefront at 535 San Benito Street. For info about the business, check out its Web site.

Yep, this sign is for real. It's hanging in the Plaza Stable at the San Juan Bautista State Historic Park in, of course, San Juan Bautista. 

Every first Saturday of the month the park holds a Living History Day. What to you know? There's one this Saturday, June 4, 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Here's the link for more details.

Memorial Day

This is a corner of one of the veterans' sections at the Cavalry Cemetery on Hillcrest Road in Hollister.

Thanks to all the former and current members of the U.S. Armed Forces. Theirs was a difficult decision to make.
