Paso Robles and Templeton Chamber to honor local leaders at annual Christmas Tree Auction

By Paso Robles Press · Tue Nov 04 2025

TEMPLETON — The Paso Robles and Templeton Chamber of Commerce will celebrate the 2025 Templeton Citizen and Businesses of the Year during the annual Templeton Christmas Tree Auction and Awards Ceremony at SpringHill Suites.

The Jermin Family of Templeton Feed & Grain has been named Citizen of the Year for their dedication to the community and resilience following a devastating fire earlier this year.

Two local businesses will also be honored for their extraordinary support in the fire’s aftermath:

• ABI Engineering, which donated equipment and crews for two months to assist with cleanup and recovery.
• Chicago Landfill, which provided trucks and manpower to help clear debris and accelerate rebuilding.

The awards highlight the community’s unity and spirit, exemplified by the Jermin Family and the businesses that rallied to help them recover. The event remains a cherished holiday tradition, bringing together residents and business leaders to celebrate Templeton’s generosity and resilience.
