Ready to Deck The Halls?

The Angels Camp Business Association will once again sponsor the Holiday Decorating Contest which awards prizes for the best decorated shop windows and store/building fronts along the 49 corridor from the Travel Lodge to the end of historic downtown Angels Camp. Chaired by Jaque Hash, judging will take place during the last week of November through the first week in December.

If you would like your business to be considered judging, please let me know (contact info below) and I will add it to the judge’s list.  This year the judges will not be going inside businesses unless specifically asked to judge the interior.

Once the judging is completed the winner will be informed personally and announced in the newspaper and via email. Certificates will be passed out to the winners.

If you have any questions, please give me a call or drop me an email!

And don’t forget about the Christmas Parade…this year the parade will be at 5, the floats etc. will be all lit up and it will be awesome! If you haven’t already done so, go to christmasofangels.com  and print out the parade entry form, fill it out and send it in.  You don’t want to miss this fun family evening!!

Looking for Demonstrators for Gold Rush Day October 18, 2014

We are doing a reenactment area at Gold Rush Day this year.
We are looking for people to demonstrate activities  – things that people would have done around the Gold Rush era. Need blacksmiths, spinners, weavers, quilters, candle makers that would demonstrate during the day. You may also have items for sale, but the area will be smaller than a booth.

We are also looking for help rigging up a gold panning area. Any ideas? Maybe a horse trough or something similar that we could use as a impromptu gold panning area?

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you!

New Pizza Place in Town: Rolling Dough Pizza

102_0685Rolling Dough Pizza, Angels Camp’s newest food outlet, held its Grand Opening this Spring at its restaurant at 244 S. Main Street in Angels Towne Plaza.

The Angels Camp shop is the second operation for Rolling Dough Pizza’s owners Margarita and Wes Greer. Their San Andreas restaurant has been in operation for 10 years and was owned and managed by Margarita’s parents before she took it over three years ago.

At lunchtime, Rolling Dough Pizza offers pizza by the slice, as well as salads and drinks. At dinner time, it offers ‘take ‘n bake pizzas.

All of its food is made fresh each day from homemade recipes, and with no preserved or frozen items. An owner is always on site, and everything is kept clean and simple with good prices.

Rolling Dough Pizza offers weekly and monthly specials. Proving popular with customers is the Pizza Lotto, where customers make their own pizza with various sauces and toppings. If it looks and tastes like a ‘winner’, Rolling Dough Pizza will put that pizza on the menu for two weeks so that others can try it.
