A benefit of downtown merchants and Paso Robles Main Street Association

PASO ROBLES — The Paso Robles Downtown Main Street Association has kicked off its first-ever Christmas tree fundraising event to support local downtown merchants and the Paso Robles Downtown Main Street Association. 

This event is part of a new “Love Local Now — Enjoy Local Later.” The campaign will be an ongoing movement in support of small businesses.  

Kahunas Surf, in downtown Paso Robles, has generously donated and decorated a beautiful tree for display in the front of their store. Local merchants are generously donating gifts to be featured on and under the tree. Gifts and packages include kid’s gifts, birthday packages, spa packages, restaurant certificates, wines, interior design packages, and so much more. The holiday Christmas tree packed with gifts galore is valued at over $2,000. 

“My heart is full by the generous donations we have already received from local business. We are so lucky to belong to such an incredible community. Together we are PasoStrong,” Derek Bettencourt, Main Street Board President.
