Campbell's First Holiday Extravaganza

The event takes place Nov. 15 from 6-9:00 p.m.

 

The Downtown Campbell Business Association is hosting its first Holiday Extravaganza this Thursday, Nov. 15.

The event takes place at Villa Ragusa from 6-9:00 p.m. and will offer a chance to shop the holidays in Campbell in a single place. Admission is $5 or a new children's book. All proceeds benefit the Assistance League of Los Gatos-Saratoga.

"Holiday shopping is an important component for merchants everywhere," says Downtown Campbell Business Association President Sonya Paz. "We wanted to give people an opportunity to have a one-stop shop, a mini-business expo."

Participating merchants will be showcasing products and offerings they will have for the holidays and new restaurants will be offering a chance to taste their holiday specials, Paz says.

The evening is a chance to offer some exposure to the small businesses in Campbell and, hopefully, entice people to shop local, she says.

"Downtowns like ourselves won’t be able to survive. There won’t be any downtowns left if people don’t come buy and support," she says. "If you’re going to spend your dollars, spend it where you make it. This expo is a chance to tell people 'We’re here and we want your business for the holidays, and here’s what we have to offer.'"

  • Bombshell Boutique

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
