Glendora Village Holiday Stroll: Shop, Dine, Enjoy the Avenue This Friday!


             Glendora Village’s annual Holiday Stroll is only four days away, starting at 6 p.m. on Friday in the Village Plaza.
Join the fun this Friday at Glendora Village's annual Holiday Stroll.
             The evening, sponsored by the Glendora Village Business Improvement District (BID), features strolling carolers, old-fashioned carriage rides and a special visit by Santa Claus arriving on a historic fire truck.
            Glendora Avenue will be closed down between Foothill Boulevard and Bennett Avenue to become a pedestrians-only zone. Arrive early to enjoy dinner at Village restaurants before you join the Stroll fun.  
            At 6 p.m. Glendora city officials will begin the evening by lighting the Village’s Christmas tree and introducing Santa at the Village Plaza. Santa will visit with children and pose with them for photos that will be posted to the City of Glendora website.
            The Holiday Stroll is a great way to kick off gift shopping at Village stores, many of whom will be hosting open houses with refreshments.
            One such store is Glendora Interiors, where visitors can enjoy food from Glendora CafĂ© and Bakery, holiday photo opps by Simpson Portraits, beautiful cabinetry and countertops from G H Wood Design.
            You can get a preview Thursday night of what Undercovers Intimate Apparel has planned for the Stroll while enjoying one-night-only specials and refreshments.

            Bryan Clay Foundation’s Fit4Fall 5K is Next Saturday

           
Registrations are still being taken for the 3rd Fit4Fall 5K next Saturday. Participants can pick up their race bib during the Holiday Stroll in front of the Martindale Commercial Building.

            Sponsored by the Bryan Clay Foundation, the 5K run raises funds for health and wellness programs that benefit the Glendora School District. The Foundation will also be partnering with New Unto Others to collect clothing for families in need.
            Race entry fee is $25.  However, all participants who donate a minimum of one bag of clothing on race day will receive $5 cash back from their registration fee.
