Holiday Tradition at Dunsmuir

You are cordially invited to this year’s exciting celebration of A Holiday Tradition at the Dunsmuir Hellman Historic Estate, 2960 Peralta Oaks Court, Oakland, CA 94605.

A Holiday Tradition is one of the Estate’s premier events. For three consecutive weekends, you will be able to tour the magnificent 37-Room mansion featuring turn-of-the-century ornate holiday decorations. Guests enjoy strolling the lovely 50-acre estate. Visitors can indulge in the Adult or Children’s Holiday Teas, ride the romantic horse-drawn carriage, and sip something warm while being entertained by Holiday performers.  You also can enjoy a light lunch or snack located in the Carriage House Café, while filling their Holiday shopping lists by purchasing from the mansion gift shop or the Carriage House crafters. The kids enjoy Kid’s Zone with pony-rides, holiday face-painting, crafts and the Breakfast with Santa. It is a wonderful way for you and your family and friends to celebrate the Holidays.

Remember to Vote!

Election day is upon us. You may have noticed (or not!) that there have been no Piedmont Neighborhood News election posts, opinions, or related items. Overall, the tone of the election from local to national has been unpleasant and putting forth any position seemed likely to generate backlash. That’s unfortunate, but for this election cycle PNN has focused on local event notices and announcements about youth sports and local arts and music.

Whatever your position on the local and state ballot measures, whoever is your candidate of choice for local or national office, I hope that you vote on election day and truly make your voice heard in a meaningful way at the ballot box.
