Deb’s Dialog
This year, has undeniably been
the fastest passing year yet it
seems. The hustle and bustle
of the holidays is upon us and
I hope that you are able to
spend it with family and friends
in and out of the area. Inside
this issue there are various local
celebrations to holiday shopping
in our semi-annual El Cerrito
Round Up. Shopping local keeps
our community vibrant as we

need small businesses to keep our downtowns from
deteriorating where we could eventually only be left with
large retail and online shopping. Shopping the various
down town areas is one of my favorite things to do. You
just never know what you may find!
Have a safe and happy holiday season.
Cheers,
Deborah
As the year is coming to a
close, I want to express my
thanks and gratitude to our
loyal advertisers who help
make it possible to direct
mail our magazine to over
50,000 homes and businesses
in West Contra Costa County.
Our magazine is one of the
few truly local sources for
information about upcoming
events, shopping, dining and learning more about
things happening in our immediate area – past and
present. And also a special thank you to our writers that
have spent the time to uncover these wonderful gems in
our community so we can share them with all of you.
Season’s Greetings,
Julia
