Palomar Mountain News

Palomar is pretty close to this event coming up today. You could still make it!!! I’d sure love a front row seat. I see online there is a Boat Parade and other local cities are celebrating honoring our Vets. Palomar has so many stories of our families, neighbors and people of with ties to the mountain who have served or are serving our country. Now in the past few years we have welcomed new military families.

This is also the week for celebrating the 251st Birthday of the United States Marines with some fun times at their Military Balls! If that means YOU, we honor YOU and know you are very much appreciated!

Cecelia is living the dream helping folks load these 40 yard dumpsters! She has a question for you Palomar folks. Do you have stuff to help fill a Dumpster Day Next Saturday, November 14th? The way it works is you fill your pick-up or trailer, take it Robert Carlyle’s property. It is the first driveway on your right on Bailey Meadow Road. Two loads per household or until full. It opens at 8 am on Saturday Dumpster Days. Donations welcomed.

Please call or text Cecelia if you have more debris/refuse to put in the 40-yd roll-off so I’ll know if it’s worth ordering one. They are over $1100.00 now so she won’t spend the Fire Safe Council grant money if there’s not enough interest.

Thank you, Cecelia

It’s not even Thanksgiving yet but we already have another fun date to slip into your calendar. Plan ahead for our Annual Christmas Caroling Potluck with Bruce and Rita!

Everyone is invited Saturday, Decembeer 19th at 5:00 until it’s a Silent Night…. Bring a favoite dish to share, we’ll have the paper goods and beverages. We’ll be sitting fire-side at the Community Center next to our Fire Department, Station 79.

See a peek of the delightful Christmas evening last year: Many thanks to Bruce and Rita

This beautiful bird was posing right before sunset on our Missouri Family’s Farm this past week. Brandon took the photo and promises this was not AI! (If it was, that guy might have had all his feathers!) When they lived on Palomar, there was a very active Kids Club and everyone would dress up. We’d take them ’round the mountain on pre-planned stops – so fun! I’m wondering if anyone can guess what was waiting for them at the Observatory? This is an easy one … Mars Bars and Milky Ways, of course!

Be safe out there tonight and if anyone scores an extra Almond Joy I’d be glad to take it off your hands!

Enjoy and Happy Fall!

Bonnie and Don for all the Phelps Clan

Apple pressing fun and lots more at the Festival yesterday! Thanks to all who made the day another great Mountain memory!

Pascal set up a very inviting display at the General Store for the new order of shirts.

$15.00 for shirts and $20.00 for the hats – tax included.

Next week there are two events that would be great for showing up in yellow!

Stay tuned for the details!
