The <br />teddy bear may be changed for 1991 and I992 in order to be in keeping <br />with the Downtown holiday theme. The 1990 theme is "Downtown Invites <br />You to Enjoy...A Storybook Christmas." The Association plans a <br />donation of holiday-themed books to the Pleasanton Library. <br /> <br /> Additional holiday activity includes co-sponsorship of the <br />Christmas tree lighting, holiday open house, street entertainment, <br />carriage and hay rides, and appearances by Santa Claus and his rabbit <br />helper. Another holiday event is a window and/or interior decorating <br />contest. The Tri-Valley Herald is the co-sponsor and will provide <br />prizes and advertising. <br /> <br /> Following the September 8 Native Sons sponsored Admission <br /> <br />Day Parade on Main Street, the Association will assist in sponsoring <br />a mini Civil War encampment and recruitment drive in Wayside Park. <br /> <br />A Civil War encampment in Pleasanton is a direct result of the Associ- <br />ation's creating a living symbol for the community in the person of <br />General Alfred Pleasonton (Ormond Eckley). <br /> <br /> Additional 1990-91 promotions planned for Downtown are co- <br />sponsorship of the Halloween night Cat Walk, a February Valentine <br />restaurant activity, the Irish Sweepstakes in March, an Easter Bunny <br /> <br /> <br />
