The Ball Is Now Rolling Down State, Grand and Elsewhere!

The Carlsbad Village Improvement Partnership (VIP) met last week and immediately dove into enthusiastic discussion on some very exciting programs that are slated to get underway in the Village over the next several months.

Jodie Dickson, owner of the Poached Pear, has taken the lead in creating, "First Fridays of Summer," starting in July and running through September. We'll soon hear more from Jodie about this very new and extremely exciting summer evening program. This could very well be the beginning of an annual seasonal event; go, Jodie!

Introducing a fresh look to banners in the Village caught the excitement of everyone and preliminary work is now underway to see what other cities have rolled out, especially in the neighboring communities of Oceanside and Encinitas. Lamppost banners could be a huge promotional opportunity for everyone. It's worked elsewhere, so why not in the Village?

And, all eyes are on the New Village Arts Theatre, as performers will bring to the theatre on June 23, Sam Shepard's, True West. We hope everyone will jump on board and support this exciting artful addition to the Village.

Previews on June 21 and 22 only $15!
