Robin Anderson's Real Estate Blog

OROVILLE. For those of you who don’t know Oroville, I will be doing a blog fest introducing local businesses and what they offer. Oroville is comprised of alot of the “Mom and Pop” stores with some big corporations mixed in. A nice combination.

We have alot of hard-working and honest entrepreneurs in our midst bringing us unique offerings and/or services in a hometown atmosphere. That is not to say that we are left behind in the ages but rather a blend of old and new.  Some business owners are from here and some have come to visit and ended up staying. No, not the Hotel California kind of staying but rather, a choice!

Whether I am going to town for a specific need or driving clients around town and out-lying areas to look at Oroville real estate, or just beebopping around taking photos of our gorgeous Oroville lake, Feather River, and other beautiful areas to post..it is just comfortable here.

Stay tuned, same bat channel, different day to learn about the great businesses and services Oroville has to offer.

The Christmas Season is upon us..as we nestle in our foothill town!  Tonight Santaarrives via the Wells Fargo Stagecoach in honor of the community Christmas tree lighting ceremony in downtown Oroville.  There will be a holiday open house with refreshments, a Children’s open house wherein the children can make gingerbread houses, Christmas caroling, photos with Santa and last but not least…FREE carriage rides. 

Tomorrow is the 7th annual Holiday Craft Faire in downtown Oroville and even better is the free admission to see all the handiwork of the very talented craftsmen and women in our area.  They offer food, raffle prizes and live music.

The Annual Light Parade is Saturday, December 12th at 6 p.m.  Many local stores are open late in anticipation of shoppers coming out to view the lighted parade entries!  It has been a great experience to have worked on the float for our Oroville Association of Realtors for many years.  My favorite was when we did the Grinch..the crowd LOVED it!! This year,  Realty World will have it’s own entry and we will have alot of fun with it.  It is so much fun to run along and hand out candy to the multitudes of children and adults alike in addition to checking out all the other float entries, horses and vehicles decked out for the parade with lights. 

It is a fun and sprited time here in Oroville!  The small town atmosphere is warm and welcoming.  Come have a look!!!
