Wrightwood Mountain Celebration Brings Community Into Focus
By Al Morrissette
Neither rain, snow nor cold of night kept Tri-Community residents away from this year’s Mountain Celebration. The 2-day event brought hundreds of shoppers and sightseers to the mountain community as they sampled apple cider, warn fudge, and hot chocolate to elevate their holiday spirit.
“My family came for our traditional Thanksgiving and spent the weekend”, said Phelanite Melissa Smith, adding, “My daughters went to do their Black Friday duties, but I took the grandkids here. We really enjoy everything that Wrightwood does to kick off Christmas. My grandkids got their fill of fudge and cider, we talked to Santa and gave him our list, also went on a hayride and ended with watching this light parade.” READ COMPLETE STORY - CLICK HERE! or Subscribe to the online addition
Wrightwood Art & Music Continues This Saturday
By Michael Palecki
Last weekend, Small Business Saturday reached an unsurpassed crescendo in Wrightwood as the 12th Annual Parade of Lights attracted more spectators than ever before. The Village Grind and Wine Cellar was the vortex of activity with Wrightwood Chamber of Commerce Director Mal Youngblood announcing parade entries from the deck. As virtually hundreds of visitors streamed into the Big Horn Building for drinks and snacks, many continued upstairs to enjoy a reception for artists at The Loft Workshop Gallery.
The arts & crafts co-op has steadily attracted new members and was filled with paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, weavings, hand dyed silk scarves, lathe turned wooden bowls, and fine jewelry. Among those artists present on Saturday evening to greet visitors and explain their work were painters Katheryn Allen and Joan McCandless, jeweler Suzanne McKinney, woodworker Gary Thornhill, and Ric Rice-who paints, sculpts and creates ceramics.

Guitar Music For The Holidays
By Michael Palecki
Just in time for the holiday season, there is new music from teenage guitar sensations that doesn’t necessarily ring with the sound of traditional carols, but will power you through the stressful shopping season and make excellent gifts for those who enjoy the echo of Wah-Wah instead of Jingle Bells. The second CD of the British superstar Jake Bugg elevates his songwriting skills to a higher level with more pronounced electric guitar rock songs, and stunning acoustic guitar ballads. And then Ray Goren- who has performed with Buddy Guy and BB King-captures traditional blues music and twists it into a new shape with his dynamic electric guitar mastery for the new recording “Live At Lucy’s 51”.
