Ramona Town Hall Inc

While today may be pumpkin spice and everything nice, the elves at The Barn Redefined, previously known as Poway Countryside Barn, are getting ready for the holiday season with their popular Christmas at the Barn shopping event. For the second year, the annual event will be a “pop-up” in Ramona, kicking off Nov. 4 through Dec. 13.
The holiday shopping event returns for six weekends – at the same temporary location, Ramona Town Hall. This year’s theme is GIFTmas, focusing on the season of giving.
The Christmas-themed festival offers a wonderful place for holiday decorating ideas. One of the most anticipated features of the event is their themed Christmas trees, including those themes as Candy Land, All White Winter, Christmas at The Lodge, and Chrismukkah, to name a few. 
Additionally, there will be many holiday photo opportunities, throughout the venue and beyond. They will also be hosting a Christmas Market every weekend in November – Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sunday 11:00am to 3:00pm – inside the Town Hall, where there will be crafts, gifts, food and music. 
This year, they will be fundraising for the Ramona Town Hall “Light the Sky,” as the historical building needs upgraded electrical and lighting. Christmas at the Barn will raffle baskets of holiday themed goodies provided by The Barn Redefined and donated by other local businesses.

Adding to the festivities, gift wrapping supplies will be available for purchase. 
The month-long shopping experience begins with a sneak-speak Customer Day, Monday, Nov. 2 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and opens to the public Wednesday, Nov. 4 and runs through Dec. 13; Wednesdays through Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sundays 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (closed on Nov. 26-27 for Thanksgiving).

San Diego Natural History Museum

Now in its 20th year, the <a href="https://www.face4pets.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">FACE Foundation</a>—a San Diego-based nonprofit providing financial assistance to pet owners who cannot afford emergency or critical veterinary care—will celebrate its 20th anniversary on Sunday, Nov. 8 at <a href="https://www.sdnat.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">the NAT | San Diego Natural History Museum</a> in Balboa Park. The evening will honor more than 5,000 pets saved and the extraordinary community behind this lifesaving work.
FACE is honored to welcome two accomplished champions to moderate and emcee its 20th anniversary celebration. Carrie Bates, a three-time Olympic Gold Medalist, and CoCo Vandeweghe, a former world No. 9 and 2018 U.S. Open Women’s Doubles Champion, will bring warmth, energy, and distinction to the occasion. Their charisma and stage presence will help create an unforgettable and meaningful evening —one that reminds all in attendance of the extraordinary spirit that has sustained and propelled this local organization for 20 years.
Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the beauty and wonder of the San Diego Natural History Museum and connect with friends, donors, past grantees, veterinary partners, and community supporters before the evening program begins. A seated buffet dinner will begin at 6:45 p.m. with selections accommodating a variety of dietary preferences, including vegan and gluten-free options.
Guests are encouraged to dress in comfortable cocktail attire. Complimentary self-parking and valet service will be provided. To reserve your seat, please visit <a href="https://www.face4pets.org/20th-anniversary" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.face4pets.org/20th-anniversary</a>.
The FACE Foundation provides financial assistance to families who have exhausted all other options and are at risk of losing their beloved pet because they cannot afford emergency or critical veterinary care. Through its Save-A-Life Program, FACE helps low-income families, senior citizens, veterans, military families, students, people with disabilities, and others experiencing financial hardship.
Rising veterinary and household costs leave many families facing the heartbreak of “economic euthanasia.” FACE’s mission is to end euthanasia due to financial hardship by providing the resources needed to keep 
pets and their families together. FACE recently reached another significant milestone: $12 million in lifesaving grants provided since its founding in 2006.
