Last weekend the Sierra Madre Chamber of Commerce hosted the annual 
Winter Festival throughout the downtown area. The event was created to cel-
ebrate the start of the holiday season and encouraging residents and visitors to 
support our local businesses while shopping and dining. In addition, Memo-
rial Park is turned into a real snow 'resort' for families to enjoy. 


Thanks to the generosity of Sponsors and Volunteers, the fun was had by all 
who attended. Musical performances were held in three locations, and surprise, 
surprise, there was a singing "Flash Mob" that helped spread the holiday 
cheers. Special thanks to the Sierra Madre Fire and Police Departments who 
facilitated the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus! MVNews
