Stanford in The Orange Bowl

Posted in Events

January 3rd, 2011 by admin

Altaire hopes that you had a safe and happy new Year celebration. But before you transition out of your celebratory mood, make sure you make plans to watch #4 Standford match up with #13 Virginia Tech in this year’s BCS Orange Bowl.

There is already talk of Stanford quarterback, Andrew Luck, going pro and many give the edge to Stanford. But don’t count out Virgina Tech as they have a potent player in their dual-threat quarterback, Tyrod Taylor, as well. Both teams have improved over the course of the season. Stanford has 1 loss and the Hokies have 2, both at the beginning of their season play. Both teams are very evenly matched so it should be a great game. It is the first meeting between the two schools and the first meeting between Pac-10 and ACC teams in the 77-year history of the Orange Bowl Classic.

Of course, living in Palo Alto, we do have our favorite….GO STANFORD!

The holidays are upon us. Time to forget about how the rest of the year flew by and turn our attention to gearing up for some holiday cheer and festivities. What better way to usher in the holidays than a tree lighting ceremony where you can do your holiday shopping?

On Saturday, November 27, from 5-7pm Stanford Shopping Center is having a Tree Lighting Ceremony. A great family event to kick-start your holiday season. SFGATE.com has an excellent summary of what awaits you and your family at this year’s lighting ceremony:

Bop to the beat of everyone’s favorite holiday tunes as Holly Berry and old St. Nick lead the countdown to the illumination of the entire Center and our giant Christmas Tree! After the performance, follow the characters to Center Pavilion for photos with Santa and seasonal goodies!

And for those of you who would like a little indoor activity to ward off the winter chill, Sur La Table at Town and Country Village has a Gingerbread Decorating Party in December. A great treat for the little ones and those of us who are all grown up but still kids at heart.

Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival

Posted in Events

October 15th, 2010 by admin

When you think of Fall what comes to mind? Cooler weather, the leaves changing color and pumpkins…..lots of pumpkins.

For those of you who would like to celebrate the Fall season in style, look no further than the quaint coastal community of Half Moon Bay. The 40th Annual Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival takes place this weekend, October 16 & 17 from 9am – 5pm.

The festival has become quite an event, with a loyal following. Here is a little background (from the official festival site) describing how the small coastal community became synonymous with pumpkins in all shapes and sizes.

The pumpkin boom can be traced back to growers in the area who began to plant pumpkins in the 1930′s. In the early 30’s, teenager John Arata and his brother Clarence began planting pumpkin seeds to feed the family’s hogs. One day, they were hauling some of their pumpkins along Highway One back to the farm when a passing motorist stopped and asked if he could buy a few. The Arata’s sold the pumpkins for a quarter and a booming pumpkin-picking business and tourist attraction was born.

And the tradition continues on today as more than 3,000 tons of pumpkins are grown each year by 15 or so commercial growers in the Half Moon Bay area. They ship pumpkins all over the United States and sell to many of the large retailers in the Bay Area.
Although the focus is on pumpkins, there is something for everyone at the festival…..parades, costume contests, family activities and great food and drink await you as well.

One more reason Altaire loves life on the peninsula. Have fun!
