Holiday Bow Breakfast: Decorating Our Icon

Join us for our 10th Annual Holiday Bow Breakfast and decorating party. After breakfast we will hit the streets and adorn our iconic lampposts with beautiful red bows for the holidays. All are invited!
Were you here years ago when the neighborhood’s iconic lampposts were decorated with bows for the holidays?
Inspired by our esteemed residents and local historic preservationists, Helena Segelhorst and her husband, of blessed memory, Elbert Segelhorst, let us together recreate this wonderful holiday tradition that brightens our streets.
Free and family friendly event!
We will meet for a light breakfast fare and then place bows on the historic lampposts at the intersections all along E. 1st Street — along with the NEW LAMPPOSTS on the corners of E. 2nd Street and Paloma, Temple, and Molino Avenues installed as a result of the Bluff Park Historic Lamppost Project.
No experience needed. Come out to help us place the bows and enjoy some holiday cheer with your friends and neighbors!
BRING YOUR REUSABLE CUP, if available, to help reduce waste.
If interested, your tax-deductible and much appreciated donation of any size will help offset the costs of the bows and breakfast and help BPNA’s programming efforts with community events throughout the upcoming year.
If you can, please bring an optional unwrapped pet item for donation to Operation Santa Paws.
Sunday, December 6. Meet at 117 Paloma Avenue @ 9:00 AM for the Holiday Fun.
