Paso Robles Pioneer Day 2010 marks the 80th anniversary of our
Community's greatest celebration. The first Pioneer Day was held on
October 12, 1931. It was organized by community volunteers working with
generous donations of time, materials and money from individuals,
businesses, churches and service organizations. Their goal was to
provide a day of community friendship and a commemoration of the
heritage of the Paso Robles area. It would also become a day set aside
to say "Thank You" to all of the people who support the business and
professional community of the area throughout the year. Most businesses
closed so that their employees could enjoy and participate in the
activities and family reunions. There were to be no charges for any of
the events, no commercial concessions and lunch would be provided at no
cost.
It's Unique ... THE WHOLE DAY IS FREE and entirely funded by the business
people and dedicated citizens of our area who say: "Leave Your
Pocketbook at Home". Come, celebrate in friendship!
