As Drenching rains continued into yesterday afternoon. Temecula city officials decided to pull the plug on the 15th Annual SANTA’S ELECTRIC LIGHT PARADE. The announcement was made immediately to re-schedule the event for December 14th. Yesterday's postponement was the first in the parade's 15 year history. The rain was most welcome, though, as our area is in a drought. We need much, much more.
The event regularly draws about 20,000 spectators. You can See the parade lineup and parade route by following the links.


Breakfast with Santa is scheduled for next Saturday, December 8th at the Community Recreation Center, 30875 Rancho Vista Road. Cost is $5 and make sure you bring your camera. You can register here:
8:00am - Register online.
9.00am- Register online.
10:00am- Register online.
11:00am- Register online.
Other upcoming events include the 8th annual winter concert, the holiday lights bus tour and more. I'll keep you posted.

I'm sorry it got postponed, but aren't you happy for the rain? We're always happy here in Texas when it rains...like today.
Tom - Sorry to hear the event got moved. Hope you have fun next week. Sound like a good time.
Tom - Rain is good in areas like yours and mine! I believe we had more rain yesterday than we had in the last 8 months! Haven't checked the latest tally, but rain is good!! I like that Temecula city officials rescheduled opposed to cancelling! The light parades are always fun, the surrounding areas all do them, in Tempe, AZ at the Tempe Town Lakes, they have the Boat Parade, spectacular! Happy Holidays! Enjoy the lights!
Linda - We're thrilled to have the rain! We want more!!!
Bill - It's all good. Thanks for visiting.
Candace - We needed the rain more than the parade. I'm looking forward to the 14th.
Tom,
We are getting SNOW at the Ocean! Living in the Pacific Northwest, we are used to the rain. We call it "Seattle Sunshine!" Keeps the area lush and green!
What a gorgeous area you live in! We were in Temecula last year and our friends took us to a Brazilian restaurant in a beautiful open-air type of mall. The palm trees-how lovely!
Sorry your event was postponed!
Happy Holidays,
Steven Simmons & Marti Schmidt, Realtors, Prudential GHP, beautiful Ocean Shores, WA
Steven & Marti - It must be gorgeous! I love where I live. You probably visited Roda Viva. Give me a call next time you're in the area.
'Sounds like a good trade-off. Parade for much-needed rain! We were kinda dry for a while there, but nothing like the areas we pass through on our way to Pinehurst N.C. for Thanksgiving - beside Rt. 95, we could see the bottoms of lakes used for the water supply nearby.
Hi Tom,
It looks like a lot of fun.....I love parades. I'm glad to hear you're getting those badly needed rains...

Margaret - We haven't seen rain that hard in ages! What a gift from the heavens.
Jo - Weather permitting, I'll take photos on the 14th.
Tom, Somehow you read my mind...
while I was posting my comment, I was thinking of adding 'please take lots of photos to share with us'. Then I thought better of it since I didn't know if you'd be going or not....and low and behold, the only thing you said in your reply to me was an answer to the question I only asked of you intangibly! How do you do that?

Tom: The positive is the rain! We have such a severe drought here in North Georgia that any sign of rain whatsoever makes us want jump and shout. Honestly, when it rains here, we actually go outside and stand in awe! Looking forward to your pics on the 14th. Hey, I expected to see a Santa hat on you by now!
Jo - Just call me
psychopsychic!Donna - Hope you get some rain. I'm working on the santa hat!
Tom - glad you got some decent rain out there!!!!
Hi Tom,
Disappointing for the children but a gift from the heavens. NC is in a drought also though not as bad here on the coast on inland.
Bill & Barbara-Jo - Me, too. We need a lot more, but it was a nice start.
Cynthia - Thanks. Bizarre how some places are getting flooded while others are in deep drought.
