Ho-Ho-Ho, We made it through the Santa Cruz Holiday parade with nary a drop of rain during the walk, but there was a deluge right before the start of the parade!  The sun was shining as we walked Pacific Avenue.   We carried the banner proudly while many parade attendees were wondering where the cars were! Well, like a piano, we …

  The 24th Woodies on the Wharf turned out to be an exceptional event.  This was especially true because of the proceeds generated by the raffle.
