Water safety for kids
Former educator, toddler parent, and Paso Robles resident. Summer is a time for keeping cool and having fun. Whether it’s a day at the water park or a backyard swim party, we all enjoy relaxing poolside during these hot months, but letting ourselves get too comfortable may turn good times into tragedy. Drowning is a leading cause of death for children in California. Even a few inches of water can be dangerous for a young child. Drowning occurs quickly and quietly. Especially when swimming with multiple kids, attention from adults becomes split and distractions happen easily.

The traveling wedding gown
In May of 2015, the Paso Robles Area Historical Society (PRAHS) received an intriging donation — a box filled with history, nostalgia, and a touch of mystery. Within this box lay a carefully wrapped, very old, yet remarkably preserved dress. Alongside it, a wedding photo captured the occasion of Fred and Katie Meier’s union, immortalized by J.B. Ward, a Paso Robles photographer. Instantly recognizable, it was Katie’s wedding gown.

We have your summer sun care
Summer is finally here! With more time being spent outside in the sun, we are excited to announce our June promotion. You can receive a discount of 20 percent off all sun care at the Natural Alternative! This includes brands such as All Good from Morro Bay, Badger, Derma E, as well as our aloe vera by Lily of the Desert. You can count on us to carry trustworthy and clean brands that don’t contain any chemicals such as oxybenzone and avobenzone. These chemicals are frequently found in sunscreen products and can act as endocrine disruptors. This is because they have been shown to interfere with the normal function of your endocrine glands. This interference can lead to hormone imbalances, specifically, major hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormones.
Taking a visit to Camp Roberts
D-Day. June 6, 1944. 80 years ago. Operation Overlord. Years in the planning and making, it involved the greatest, most diverse group of forces ever assembled — some called it “The Greatest Military Operation in History.” This massive invasion of France was the beginning of breaking the Nazi stronghold on Europe, leading to their eventual unconditional surrender on May 7, 1945. This is one of the most significant anniversaries in history.
The start of summer
We welcome June with its lush landscapes and abundant life as it deepens our connection to nature and the earth while offering us many observances to enjoy. Our Main Street Association Calendar is quiet this month in preparation for late summer and a full calendar through the end of 2024. We’d like to say thank you to all of our volunteers who tirelessly give their time, efforts, and talents to keep Main Street moving forward while maintaining our small-town heritage. We invite you to stop by the office for information on everything Paso Robles. We have updated magazines and newspapers along with brochures on things to do and see.
