An Outstanding October | Claremont Style

Autumn's in the Air

Because there's so much to see and do in Claremont during October, this issue focuses on the early part of the month. Listings for later weeks appear here and will be featured in an upcoming issue of THE VIL CLARE. First things first this Fall.

Enjoy annual traditions (and the return of Things That Go Bump in the Night after a four year hiatus) -- have fun with family and friends, shopping, dining and exploring this quaint, vibrant SoCal town. Thank you for subscribing to THE VIL CLARE eNews!

Greetings & Cheer -- It's an Awesome Autumn Here! Mindi / The Vil Clare
