When She is the Love of Your Life …

She is the LOVE OF YOUR LIFE! Maybe it’s the way her hair glistens in the candle light … the softness of her skin … the way her smile and laughter makes your heart beat extra fast … her gentleness and sophistication … or all of these traits and more wrapped into one AMAZINGLY  BEAUTIFUL package!  Whatever the reasons you love her, Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to “TAKE HER BREATH AWAY” in the way you express your love!

AAA Transportation has the PERFECT combination to SWEEP YOUR SWEETHEART OFF HER FEET!

First, demonstrate your debonair spirit by taking her to the 3rd Annual Wines and Valentines Dinner, presented by the Museum on Main Street, Saturday, February 13, from 6 PM – 10 PM.

The class and flair of the new Farmer Restaurant at the newly renovated Pleasanton Hotel is the perfect venue for an outstanding pairing of superb wines masterfully matched with a four-course dinner by Chef Bert G. Ortiz.

The menu includes:

• Hors d’ouvres: Ahi Tuna Tartar paired with Elliston Vineyard Sparkling Champagne
• First Course: Amore Raviolis paired with Wente Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc
• Main Course: Mixed Grill (Aged NY steak medallion with Chilean sea bass) paired with McGrail Vineyards Cabernet
• Dessert: Cutie Pie chocolate heart paired with Concannon Vineyards Petite Syrah

As you and your LOVE dine and exchange loving glances, Chef Ortiz will circulate among all diners, speaking on why each wine is chosen and how each complements its dish.
Between courses and the Chef commentaries, the “back by popular demand” Two-bit and Voice Auctions will take place.  You’re sure to discover delightful items your SWEETHEART will cherish!  So, bring an adequate supply of quarters (two-bits), and keep an eye out for the limited quantity of unique quarters that will be on sale.  Proceeds from both auctions will go toward the Board of Directors’ approved museum projects.

Second, AAA Transportation has TWO VALENTINE PACKAGES to make your evening complete:

1. 3 Hours of Stretch Limousine service for ONLY $220.00 (includes tax and gratuity)!  Complimentary champagne and other beverages are available as you and your ANGEL snuggle together.
2. 3 Hours of sedan service – all inclusive – for JUST $150.00!

Make Valentine’s Day a “Night on the Town” she will never forget!

Holidays ~ Magic ~ Pleasanton!

Sssh!  Don’t break the magic spell that’s swirling in Downtown Pleasanton!  It mysteriously begins every year about this time as Santa and his fun-loving elves sneak away from the North Pole just for this special event.  “What is it?” you ask.  It’s Pleasanton’s annual downtown open house named the “Magical Holiday Evening”!

On Friday, November 20, from 6 PM – 9 PM, the streets will come to life as downtown shops, restaurants and businesses begin celebrating the holidays with festive decorations, twinkling lights, beautiful window displays, and holiday treats.

Yes, the magic of the holidays still enchants young and old alike.  It’s the perfect time to do some of your holiday shopping AND tell Santa your dearest wishes too!  Here are some of the highlights of this year’s festivities:

• Santa will personally appear at the Museum on Main to greet children and hear their Christmas wishes, personally collect YOUR holiday wish lists, safely carry all letters addressed to him back to the North Pole for processing, and sprinkle “magic HO-HO-HO’s” over everyone while his elves and helpers hand out scrumptious candies to all good little boys and girls.
• Santa’s favorite elf will be spreading Good Cheer as he wanders around downtown businesses and restaurants looking for GOOD diners and shoppers.  You could win one of many downtown gift cards!
• Gentle miniature holiday horses from Horizons East Stables will greet you throughout the evening.  (Santa had to leave the reindeer at the North Pole to continue their rigorous flight training for December 25th.)
• Bibiane Bakery will build an unbelievable gingerbread house right before your eyes at the Museum on Main.  In addition, they will also provide all the edible materials you need to make your own gingerbread house!
• Crackers the clown will make her way through downtown during the evening handing out her special balloons to all special girls and boys.
• Dana Smith “plays with fire” as he performs amazing fire juggling, acrobatics and circus feats.
• Fantasy Faces, a talented mother-daughter face painting team will “decorate” your cheeks with fun and festive “art” outside Lotus.

Magic and the Holidays aren’t complete without music!

HARMONY FUSION CHORUS will fill the crisp air with wonderful holiday harmonies from 7 PM – 8:30 PM at the Museum on Main.

SILVER WIND FLUTES will perform beautiful holiday music at Pans on Fire between 6 PM and 9 PM.

VALLEY CONCERT CHORALE will stroll through downtown singing your holiday favorites from 7 PM to 9 PM.
