All are invited to a fun event at the Chevy Chase Library. Next Wednesday, December 22 from 6-8pm a caroling party with food and drink will take place at the library. It should appeal to all ages.  It will also be a way for Glendale school families to celebrate the start of winter break — no school the next day. Please see the attached flier for more details.

It’s that time of year again when our neighborhood ghouls and ghosts come out to haunt Hollister Terrace. Once again, GOCHA and the wonderful people on Hollister Terrace will make for a safe and family friendly night of fun. Like in years past, the 2300-2400 block of Hollister Terrace (between Edwards Pl. and Tryon) will be closed to non-residential vehicles between 5:00pm and 9:00pm on Sunday, October 31st. So put on your costume (come on parents, you too!) bring the kids, and take a stroll down Haunted Hollister Terrace to enjoy some spirited decoarations, games, special events and lots of fun. We hope to see you there.

Decorate a Pumpkin at Chevy Chase Library

3301 E. Chevy Chase Drive

818-548-2046

Saturday, October 30th

3:00-4:30 p.m.

All ages are welcome!!
Just bring a pumpkin of any size, shape or color, and we’ll provide the decorating supplies.
There will be lots of fun for everyone!

Due to safety concerns, the library has requested that we not carve pumpkins at this event, so please don’t bring any carving tools–just a pumpkin and a bit of creativity!

This story was sent to Joan Morris, GOCHA’s President. We thought it would be a nice story for the website. Enjoy.

Years ago they say, a bear escaped the LA Zoo and found his way to a back yard in Glenoaks Canyon.  He survived on homegrown avocados.  The mystery continued when they say he was chased to the hills by the local wildlife: coyotes, skunks, and possums, never to be seen again.  It is also rumored that the “Glendale Bear” may have been adopted by a local canyon family, and lived his life out with them disguised as a 20-lb poodle.  The neighbors memories are “fuzzy”…but remember the said growling poodle participated in the annual BOW WOW POW WOW and enjoyed free pancakes at the homeowners breakfast.  It was also suspected that the “Glenoaks Bear” appeared as himself at the Halloween Block Party this past year!  Some say they recall the poodle enjoying walks in the canyon with his owner, who always wore a black baseball cap.    Fact or fiction?? —– what really happened no on knows for sure; but the legend continues……

Know of any more canyon stories. Send them in and we’ll put them on the website. Send your stories to mitchellr@glenoakscanyon.org.

Canyon K-9′s in all their furry splendor came out to the park with their humans to celebrate at the annual Bow Wow Pow Wow. Organized with perfection by the Hopperts again this year, the annual event brought out our neighborhood’s finest. Awards were given for best costume, best tricks and best time through the agility course. This year, the Pow Wow started in the afternoon for the first time. Let us know if you liked the afternoon start. We love all our canyon pets and it is always great to see them celebrated in this great, annual event.

This summer, our canyon will be entertained once again with not one, but two performances by the Shakespeare by the Sea touring company. Their performances will be held more…

It’s that time of year again. The rains have stopped, the grass is green, and our canyon’s four-legged friends are itching to get dressed up, hone those new tricks, and show off their dexterity and prowess at the obstacle course. That’s right. It’s time for the annual Bow Wow Pow Wow.

This year, the Bow Wow Pow Wow will be starting at a new time: 4pm – 6pm so all those dogs that like to sleep in will have a chance to strut their stuff.

So come on out and join your neighbors and their pets at Glenoaks Park. See you then.

It’s that time again. GOCHA is once again going to close Hollister Terrace to auto traffic for a safe and super fun Halloween. From 5:30pm until 9:30pm this Saturday (October 31st), Hollister Terrace will be closed between Tryon and Edwards Place. more…

Once again, GOCHA will be closing Hollister Terrace for all the witches and goblins to have a safe and fun Halloween. There will be a planning meeting this Thursday, October 15th at 7pm at 2309 Hollister Terrace. Anyone who wants to help is welcome to come.

Stay tuned for another post about Halloween itself.
