ENJOY A BIT O’ BRITAIN AT THE JUNE FAIRE 

Offering Fun, Food and Entertainment for the Whole Family


The British Home will be holding its 2016 June 
Faire on Saturday, June 4th, from 10:00 am to 2:30 
pm. 

 This family-friendly event celebrating “All 
Things British “ is held annually on the first 
Saturday in June at Sierra Madre’s graceful non-
profit independent and assisted living facility for 
seniors. Admission is free. 

 Colorful booths, boutiques and refreshment 
stands situated on the beautiful 2. acre campus 
will offer hand-made arts and crafts, books, 
collectibles, personal accessories and decorative 
items for sale. One hundred percent of the 
proceeds go to the support of the British Home.

 Refreshments include something for everyone--
bangers on a bun, home-baked breads and pastries, 
strawberries and ice cream, and more. An outdoor 
Victorian Tea Room will be open for fairgoers to 
enjoy a leisurely “cuppa” and delicious English 
sweets and savories.

 Enjoy traditional Irish and Scottish dances 
performed by adults and youngsters on the upper 
lawn during the afternoon. 

 A congenial British Bobby and Beefeater will be 
strolling the grounds, happy to have their photo 
snapped, or to be included in a “selfie.”

 One of the most popular Faire features is the 
Raffle Booth, where tickets may be purchased 
to enter the $1,000 Grand Prize Raffle. The first, 
second and third place winners, who need not be 
present, are announced at the conclusion of the 
Faire. 

 The British Home is located at 647 Manzanita 
Avenue in Sierra Madre, in a residential area, with 
parking along Ramona and Manzanita Avenues, as 
well as on the side streets. For more information, 
please call (626) 355-7240 or visit our website:

 “On Memorial Day, we remember and pay 
tribute to fallen heroes and their families, to 
appreciate the blessings of liberty and recognize 
the power and virtue of their sacrifice. 

 On the 40th anniversary of D-Day in World War 
II, President Ronald Reagan said, “One’s country 
is worth dying for, and democracy is worth dying 
for, because it is the most deeply honorable form of 
government ever devised by man.” 

 In his Gettysburg address, President Abraham 
Lincoln said, “...from these honored dead, we take 
increased devotion to that cause for which they 
here gave the last full measure of devotion -- that 
we here highly resolve these dead shall not have 
died in vain...”

OPEN STUDIOS ALTA/PASA/DENA 

ROVING ART TOUR

We are very excited about the tremendous 
growth of this Open Studios Tour. Open Studios 
started with our first Art Tour in December of 
2013, with five locations and nine artists. This 
June’s show on the 4th and 5th will feature 75 
amazing artists at 40 locations, plus some live 
music, poetry, and performances to compliment 
the Tour.

 The Open Studios Art Tour provides an 
intimate view into the artist’s life and studio; to 
be able to see where and how ideas are conceived 
and developed. When visiting an artist’s studio, 
the creative process becomes apparent and is 
unique to each artist. It provides a personal, 
individualized experience, unlike the setting of a 
typical gallery show. This is what makes our event 
so special. We don’t charge any admission fees, 
and welcome all of our neighbors to experience 
the Tour. Tour Guidbooks & Maps are available 
now at our supporting retail locations – Hoopla! 
Emporium, McGinty’s Gallery, Merge Framing, 
Sidewalk Café HTS, and Perry’s Joint. There is 
also an interactive map detailing all locations on 
our website at http://openstudios.gallery.

We’d like to hear from you!
