Bonsall Chamber of Commerce - August 2007 Newsletter

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Hello Everyone!
Our July Sundowner at the Regency Fallbrook (Senior/retirement assisted living) was well attended. Sylvia Spears and Erin Carr along with all the staff at this fine facility did a marvelous job making us feel welcome and feeding us! Their in-house cook, Toni Spears takes great pride in the dishes she presents.
We had another new member present at this Sundowner: Kimberly Wright from Zoofari Inc. (Wild Wonders Productions). The web site is: www.wildwonders.org or www.zoofari.net which is worth a visit. They have non-domestic type animals that they use in movie and TV productions. Kimberly mentioned being on several national talk shows with some of her “pets”. This was interesting to me because, when I lived in Buellton, I worked on several Lassie shows handling the deer for a company similar to Kimberly's.
Our next Sundowner is scheduled for August 9th in the parking area between Dr. Carlson's offices and the bank building in the River Village Center. Enthused by the opening day at Del Mar, which is fast becoming known as “Hat Day”, we have decided to have a hat contest! We are asking our attendees to wear a “HAT” indicating the business they represent. Like someone with a real estate company could wear a hat that looked like a house with a 'for sale' sign or maybe a Monopoly Board, or a car dealership person could wear a hat with a car and a 'for sale' sign on the top. This should be great fun and a fantastic photo opportunity. We will try to have some dandy prizes.
The Bonsall Country Festival on October 20 is slowly coming together (see article this newsletter). We will also be announcing next year's (2007-08) Bonsall Honorary Mayor and the new Bonsall Dude at the Bonsall Country Festival.
Leigh Ann Howard (760) 414-3239

THEME: (HATS! HATS! HATS!) Prizes will be awarded for the most creative HATS--- A hat that SYMBOLIZES YOUR BUSINESS (see President's Message for suggestions). We are anxious to see your HAT. We would like everyone to wear a HAT. Let's have fun with this theme!

Catering is a Lace Apron specialty! Whether it is a sit down formal dinner, a buffet style dinner for hundreds or a dinner for 8 that you pick up, heat and serve, there are options for everyone. Their quaint and homey dining room is also available for private lunches, dinners and even breakfasts both for businesses and families!

HONORARY MAYOR OF BONSALL

Hello everyone!

We are all busy in preparation for one of my favorite events; the Bonsall Country Festival! We will have a nice selection of vendors, a giant slide, a rock climbing wall, and my personal favorite, the pony rides! We are avidly looking for vendors, so if you are a craftsman, artist, or business person that would like to sell or market your business, please call me for an application. I will e-mail, fax, or mail you one.
It has been a very fun year for me as Honorary Mayor of Bonsall and I have enjoyed it so much that I have decided to run again, just one more time!
