<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the 25th annual Harvest
Celebration in Temecula Wine Country. While much of the event will be familiar,
organizers have changed the format this year and made adjustments to appeal to
wine aficionados.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Previously organized by the Temecula
Valley Winegrowers Association, a more intimate version of the event will be
hosted this year by Grapeline Wine Tours, a Temecula-based company that
offers wine tasting tours in Sonoma, Santa Barbara, Paso Robles and Temecula</span><span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The event was difficult for the
Winegrowers Association to sustain," explained Kim Kelliher, Grapeline's
president. "Winery participation was mandatory, and as wine country
grew more popular, many wineries could no longer adequately handle the
all-weekend event. We realized we could make some desired changes and
keep the tradition alive."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The traditional event format - showcasing samples of premium wines and
chef-inspired food pairings - remains the same. The new features include
hosted transportation for every guest, a shift from a two-day weekend format to
only one day on the less-busy<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="aqj">Sunday</span>, and optional participation by Temecula wineries. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Harvest-goers aboard Grapeline
mini-coaches will stop at eight of the ten participating wineries. The
wineries include: Baily, Callaway, Carter Estate, Cougar, Danza del Sol,
Doffo, Europa Village, Falkner, Lorimar, and Oak Mountain.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Several stops will be unique and
first-time ever experiences. Several wineries will offer live entertainment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Harvest offering inside their newly excavated 11,000 square foot wine
cave. The cave reaches a depth of more than 100 feet below the surface.

Celebration. The newly-opened winery is the second for Jim Carter,
proprietor of three-time California Winery of the Year, South Coast
Winery. Carter Estate will offer tastings of </span>Carter

<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanksgiving was an eight-day work week and I've logged in 112 hours since November 23 - making snowflakes, painting grapes, setting up events and just working the Christmas activities. The life of
an event producer as Bing Crosby points out in “Holiday Inn” means you work an
extra day, night, weekend. The trade off is downtime when everyone else works.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love what I do. I was raised in Anaheim, California, a few blocks from Disneyland with an artist for a mother and an adman/promoter for a father. I love old Hollywood musicals and the formulaic "Let's put on a show," plots. Somehow, though, I have always identified with Doris Walker of "Miracle on 34th Street" more than Judy Garland. I like to be behind the scenes making it happen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This year I did something I do rarely, I became a part of
the show by riding on the Temecula Carriages Trolley through Old Town Temecula as
it escorted a 50 person choir and Santa to his cabin at Pennypickle’s Workshop.
I’m always amazed when a crowd looks larger than anticipated. Last year we had
rain and had half our normal crowd. This year the crowd tripled. They packed Main Street east of Old Town Front, the west a few
hundred feet. The new location afforded more spectators and viewing of the procession. Some spectators cheered at Town Square Park as the procession made
the circle. It warmed my heart.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For 15 years we have brought Santa to Old Town Temecula.
About 12 years ago we started the procession to his “workshop." Eight years ago
a local business owner built Santa’s first house. It was a gingerbread house in design. It unfortunately warped after the second year, then leaked. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were BLESSED five years ago the
Tahquitz Boy Scouts offered to build a new home. They had
helped us take pictures when we were in a tent that required redecorating each week. Repainted the “gingerbread
house twice” and then when the call came for a MODULAR and durable home, two Eagle Scouts came forth. One – an adult –
BRUIN PAINTING – OWNER – donated the design and build of the house. Tommy
Byrnes, Eagle Scout from Canyon Lake, coordinated the painting, decorating and assembly effort, including
painting the snowmen on the workshop.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This year – we moved to new FLAT quarters with a REAL WOOD
FLOOR at Pennypickle’s Workshop/Temecula Children’s Museum. They repainted and re-purposed the building making this
Penny</div>

pickle's cabin that hosts Santa each year.
I say all this because this is how the community works best – everyone
working for the best possible outcome. Santa always brings out the best in all
of us. <br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This year there was a special request. One of the adult women who helped with the Tommy Byrnes house was fighting
Breast Cancer for the fourth time as we pained snowmen. She requested a pink ribbon or snowflake. I painted a
pink snowflake and tied a pink ribbon to it. She and her family, grandchildren and children, came to see Santa and the house that night.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Which brings me to the reason for all of this – I am
thankful. I am blessed with a wide range of friends with diverse talents,
interests and lifestyles. They always want to help. Walking from Pennypickle’s
to the Stampede where Santa and his reindeer landed at 5:45 p.m. Friday, I ran
into many of these friends. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One friend had her grandchildren waiting
for the Giant Elf’s balloon art. Another
friend, (one I have known since I was 16), has the best decorated business in
town this year. If you agree – head to the Temeculachilled.com website and vote. It’s the house that created snow on their
fence by combining icicle lights, hand cutting white shelving material into
icicles and ordering WHITE garland from the east coast. A walk down Main Street and you will know who
I mean.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why should Santa Arrive in a horse drawn carriage, ride
through OLD TOWN TEMECULA on Thanksgiving Weekend, sit for hours greeting the
children and their parents? It is a 1 5-old tradition. This tradition provides
free, easy access to Santa at the end of Black Friday in a small town homey
atmosphere where all is touchable, hug able and emotionally appealing. Then line is also significantly shorter than other places in town.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Greeting the residents, friends and neighbors this night is often
the only time during the year that I see lifetime friends. Boy Scouts raise funds to go to camp while helping people visit Santa.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the procession I ran into a young woman I have seen
occasionally at my events for the past 10 years. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ve known Melody since I was 11,” she told her kids. They
were sitting on a blanket in line, waiting to see Santa. I can’t believe I have
known her that long. She asked how I was doing and I was in a hurry from one
destination to the next. “Okay, weird
year.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She confided that she had a rough year. She had lost her
12-year-old daughter a few months to cancer.
Mist filled both of our eyes. I couldn't believe the hardship this “kid”
has seen and yet there she was, with her entire family – watching Santa arrive
in Old Town. A small moment of normalcy for her and her year of trauma was a
one-second Epiphany for me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We all live within our own storyboards. Sometimes we are so
immersed at surviving a storm, enduring a hardship or just “getting by” that we
don’t see the world around us. But this one night, one 15-minute window unites
old friends, creates new friends, inspires young, and revitalizes generations
within one family. It’s magical. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I read a post of one woman who wiped mist from her eyes as
she saw the carriages proceed down Main Street. Holding her newborn and
watching from the sidewalk, she saw her husband drive the of y team that pulled
a trolley full young carolers. She normally drives Santa in the carriage and
this year delighted in the crowd as they cheered the procession. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Old Town Temecula is the heart and soul of this community. Glowing
snowflakes on light posts and in the street, a musical Christmas tree in Town
Square, Snowbell Rockin’ Nights with snow fall, lights and music synchronized,
and now the Ice Rink – it is all a gift to the community and a treasure for the
season.</div>

<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Plein air artists paint with oils, water color, pastels and acrylics,
through Sunday, June 22. . Temecula's plein air festival is inspired by Ralph
Love, a popular California plein air artist who lived and taught in Temecula.
His Art Shack was located where Baily's Old Town Dining is now located. </span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Artwork completed during the Ralph Love Plein Air Festival will <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>be on display in the Temecula Civic Center,

<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A unique aspect to Temecula's Street Painting Festival is the family
and youth area provided. Here young artists and their parents can paint small
two-foot-by-two-foot blocks using the very same pastels that the master
painters use for their 10-foot by 12 foot murals. More than <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1,800 squares will be made for participants. THIS IS FREE as is admission to all of the art activities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"It will take most artists 24 hours to finish the largest murals,"
explained the event coordinator <a href="http://melodysadworks.com/" target="_blank">Melody Brunsting.</a> "It's fun to watch their

street paint at other festivals throughout the year," stated organizer and

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
NYE 2013<br /><b>and the story of </b>The Great Temecula Grape Drop</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JoDsCtXGsXI/ULVwvXmzO-I/AAAAAAAAAUk/Zhmu_QtvrYM/s200/grapes+clock2.jpg" width="177" />It was a great idea. You have an ice rink open on New Years Eve, why not have a party. And since we live in Southern California Wine Country - and the Ice Rink is in Old Town Temecula - why not drop a giant illuminated bunch of grapes from city hall?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first bunch was simple. Not really. How do you create a 3-foot by 5-foot bunch of grapes, light them, and have them descend from a crane. (City hall was not complete that year.) A ton of searching giant holiday exhibits and looking for PURPLE balls of size, and I had a solution - purple sequined tree ornaments - the biggest we could find. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Robm3qbLbAA/ULVyhBLefbI/AAAAAAAAAUs/S3UQ14ozStA/s1600/color+match.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Robm3qbLbAA/ULVyhBLefbI/AAAAAAAAAUs/S3UQ14ozStA/s200/color+match.jpg" width="150" /></a>But still how do you make them glow and shine. Sequins would need a spot light of some sort and not give the image of .. well the big apple's crystal ball. So LeAnn found illuminated spheres (6") at Costco. They were clear. We thought "Lets paint them purple" to match the sequined balls. Wrong - there is an internal light vs external light compatibility issue. Some purple is blue, some is red and if you have external lights to the sphere vs internal, well some of those come out raspberry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But eventually we did create the perfect bunch. It ended up 3x6-feet instead of 5 and was a great hit, although when we wanted to drop them from city hall, we wanted them a little bigger. So we added some sequined balls that year - couldn't find anymore of the inner lit spheres, and we added some really cool leaves. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mu49h84FM94/ULVz11T5mpI/AAAAAAAAAU0/vC55OORd2yM/s1600/grape.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mu49h84FM94/ULVz11T5mpI/AAAAAAAAAU0/vC55OORd2yM/s200/grape.jpg" width="200" /></a>Well, they were cool until the test drop occurred during the 2010 rain storms and the leaves color washed away, and the leaves melted all over our purple balls. A quick fix worked for the year and no one was the wiser. Notice the picture at the top ... that was 2012 NYE... SOME of the balls are a little "raspberry." If you look to the left, under the green leaf, another ball is a little "raspberry." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well these were actually perfectly matched purple balls - matched to the purple sequined ball. But with lights on the OUTSIDE they came out pinker than our burgundy sprayed spheres with white lights on the inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Go figure. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And that wasn't the least of my creative dilemma. For this year the request was a bunch of grapes twice the size. More to come.</div>

TEMECULA FIRST NIGHT,<br />And how to grow glowing, fake grapes from Styrofoam.</h3>
<div>
That original cage was sort of easy to create. Take three six-foot metal garden trellises from Home Depot, a package of zip ties, chicken wire, a few carabiners and a few feet of chain, and well two petite ladies created seven feet of grapes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qe1OewTbs3M/ULV6ZzQLu0I/AAAAAAAAAVE/XdAhReo2d88/s1600/grape+assembly.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qe1OewTbs3M/ULV6ZzQLu0I/AAAAAAAAAVE/XdAhReo2d88/s320/grape+assembly.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
LeAnn and I did it in my over packed garage and it took about 24 hours of trial and error.<br />
This year was more challenging. First... there was no such thing as a 5x12-foot garden trellis. It would have to be welded - I did think of MORE POWER TOOLS ... but for the sake of the budget opted to take my design to Mikes Precision Welding. He welded a cage out of aluminum that weighed less than 20 pounds. (Lightweight was a criteria.)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vxE9W0nqYAA/ULV7fv3VNUI/AAAAAAAAAVM/3zQXt2nUDz4/s1600/leaves.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vxE9W0nqYAA/ULV7fv3VNUI/AAAAAAAAAVM/3zQXt2nUDz4/s200/leaves.jpg" width="200" /></a>Then we had to create new leaves - again WEATHER RESISTANT. This is done with Dino goo, a 2-part coating for foam and other products, that becomes sandable, drillable, paintable, and rain resistant. Problem - our previous incarnation with this product was difficult to manipulate and a bit heavy. We would need 6-8 leaves for the new bunch.. Note the leaves are 1/2 the size of our old bunch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YRnTZ5Euq7w/ULV9iLbcq4I/AAAAAAAAAVc/MvH6BkWwhbY/s1600/grapes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YRnTZ5Euq7w/ULV9iLbcq4I/AAAAAAAAAVc/MvH6BkWwhbY/s200/grapes.jpg" width="150" /></a></div>
Then we had to find bigger balls. Eh... wrong - there are no larger purple sequined balls. 8" is as large as you can find and ... oh no .. the product is discontinued. So punt. First we found 10" and 12" Styrofoam balls... problem $35 apiece. The 8" were $7 with sequins. Plain white balls larger than 8" where 5 times more than I had budgeted for when estimating the cost to double the grapes back in APRIL. AND, BACK IN APRIL, purple sequined balls were still made.<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sCm5feqICm4/ULV8y_Pl6HI/AAAAAAAAAVU/s0g1-pyUFhU/s1600/shrinking.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sCm5feqICm4/ULV8y_Pl6HI/AAAAAAAAAVU/s0g1-pyUFhU/s200/shrinking.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
So we bought plain white smooth foam balls ($5). This meant we had to somehow make them purple and my thought was to spray them purple, then spray adhesive to put glitter and sequins on them.<br />
<br />
Oops... the prototype took spray paint, the smooth foam created an incredibly shrinking purple ball, that sizzled and foamed into a pimpled small ball.<br />
<br />
ARG.<br />
Solution - AIR BRUSH... We had 20 new sequined balls, needed at least 48. We ordered 28 balls and spent a day air brushing them.<br />

And we got: This is phase one. If you notice there are some areas that catch the light better ... these have purple small sequins on them. NOT the large ones like above... by the way - note above we put netting on the balls. This kept the sequins on them... and we will be netting these new balls too.<br />
<br />
Next, a picture of the purple balls with sequins and... how we solved the purple that turns raspberry problem.<br />
