Turkeys and Christmas
November is here and the Recreation Department is preparing
for the Annual
Turkey Trot! No, we aren’t dancing, it’s a race! Kids ages 5
to 12 can join the short foot race at Castleberg Park, and maybe
win a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner! You must pre-register for
this FREE event to be held on November 21. Call 209-869-7124.
City offices will be closed on the following days in
November:
November 10 - Veterans' Day
(November 11) November 23-24 -
Thanksgiving Holiday
Following on the heels of the Thanksgiving Holiday, the
City will be decking the halls and lighting the trees!
Saturday, December 2 is the date for the 38th annual
Community Christmas Parade and the always exciting Christmas
Craft and Great Stuff Faire! Both events are held rain or shine
in downtown Riverbank.
The Christmas Parade begins at 10:00 a.m. on Santa Fe
Street at Fifth Street. Led by a Stanislaus County Sheriff
Deputy, the parade heads down Santa Fe Street to Second Street
where it turns south. At Stanislaus Street the parade heads
east back to the Community Center Park where it disperses. We
see a variety of entries at the parade –
floats, horses, Aztec dancers, Fire
Engines, bands, antique cars,
and of course, Santa Claus!
The Christmas Craft & Great Stuff Faire will be open from
10:00 to 3:00 inside the Community Center, 3600 Santa Fe
Street. Come on in after the parade and you can probably start
and finish your Christmas shopping! You will find a wonderful
variety of crafts and beautiful homemade crocheted or knitted
sweaters, booties, bonnets, and blankets for baby or for you!
You can purchase a singing Teddy Bear or homemade candles.
Maybe some Tupperware to pack all those Christmas cookies you
need to send to family and friends. If you are hungry, you will
find the kitchen open and serving hot dogs and chili with chips
and a drink for a nominal fee.
City offices will be closed on the following days in
December:
