From Equestrian Center Manager Camille Anderson:
Trough-or-Treat on Nov. 1 was a Halloween event open to all homeowners so that they could come and see the Equestrian Center up close. Many people commented to me that they’ve lived here over 20 years and have never been inside and they really enjoy being able to come in and see the facility.
We had probably 15 costumed horses including a Lorax, Secretariat, a Beanie Baby, a flower garden, Eeyore and the costume contest winner was a skeleton. We had more decorations this year than last year and hopefully next year will be even better.
I would say at least a hundred people attended the event. I am very grateful to all the people who attended and especially for all the positive comments.
Our next event will be Horses for the Holidays on December 14th.

Holiday Craft Night Brings Creativity to YLP
(Submitted by Andrea and John Briar of Starlight Design)
On Dec. 10, Yosemite Grille hosted the Paintology Academy craft-making event, organized by Andrea and John Briar of Starlight Design, a local business specializing in digital design and custom novelty items.
The event brought together 27 YLP residents for an evening of holiday crafting and wine. Participants chose between creating a 10-inch laser-cut wooden holiday door hanger or a set of four smaller wooden ornaments. Each kit included detailed pieces, along with paint, glue, glitter, and ribbons to personalize the decorations.
Andrea guided attendees through the crafting process, while Jenifer Esquivel, catering manager for YLP, served wine to add to the festive atmosphere. John Briar provided support with materials and supplies, ensuring everything ran smoothly.
The 2 1/2-hour event offered a relaxing and enjoyable way to start the holiday season. Participants left with their finished decorations, ready to add a personal touch to their holiday celebrations.
The Paintology Academy craft night was a great opportunity for neighbors to connect and share in the holiday spirit. Keep an eye out for more community events like this in the future!
