St. Rita's Scout Troop 110 assisted snow lovers in Memorial Park, where the snow fell 
again this year just in time for Small Business Saturday! 


The anticipated snow fall landed in Sierra Madre 
once again! On Saturday, Sierra Madre was transformed 
into a magical Winter Village complete 
with Snow and tons of visitors to celebrate the holidays 
and Shop Small Business Saturday. 

The event is sponsored annually by the Chamber 
of Commerce and brings residents and visitors 
alike out to our shops and restaurants and showcases 
many of our local organizations. Fun and 
shopping were the themes for the day which also 
included Santa coming to town and the lighting of 
the Christmas Tree.
