This sign in San Juan Bautista always cracks me up. But, I wouldn't be surprised if something did happen on that particular spot on Third Street.
Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

Hysterical San Juan Bautista

The Old Elks Lodge -- Another Angle
It just happens all of a sudden. You notice a completely different view of something so familiar.
That's what happened to me at the Farmers Market this week. While talking with someone, I glanced up the street and noticed that the beautiful piece at the top of the old Elks Lodge Building (on the southeast corner of Fifth and San Benito Streets) does not extend to its south side. I wonder why.

The Agricultural Signs in San Benito County
Back in January, I began noticing the beautiful agricultural signs popping up around San Benito County. They showcased both the products and the growers. The signs are part of Ag in the Classroom project sponsored by the San Benito County Farm Bureau. They deserve a big round of applause for their work!
So far, I've taken photos of three of the agricultural signs. You can find this sign at the southwest corner of Union and Southside Roads. It's like a scavenger hunt for me. As I take photo of the different signs, I'll post them. To see the other two agricultural signs, click here and here.

Cooking Demos at the Farmers Market
This year, the Hollister Farmers Market has added cooking demonstrations, which are given across from the Veterans Memorial Building. Every week is a different theme. So far, local farmers and agricultural organizations have presented ways to prepare artichokes, mushrooms, cherries, stone fruits, corn, and Blenheim apricots. Yum!
The demonstrations are given at 5:30 PM and 6:45 PM every Wednesday during the Farmers Market, which runs from 3 to 7:30 PM. For more info about the Farmers Market, visit this page at the Hollister Downtown Association website.

Peeking above the Mist
That's Santa Ana Peak. Beautiful, isn't it? I caught it peeking above the mist this morning, as I was bicycling up Santa Ana Road. I can just imagine how even more gorgeous the sight must've been on Santa Ana Valley Road.
