It's a Banner Day in Encinitas, California

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty of California, Inc. CA DRE #01490977

Banner along Route 101 in EncinitasThe weather here today is fantabulous, about 71 degrees. Amazing for February 27th (sorry, those of you living in colder climes – been there, done that). But it’s truly a banner day here.

Why?

There are banners all over Encinitas along historic Route 101 (affectionately called the coast highway) from La Costa Avenue (at the north end of Leucadia) all the way to Cardiff.

The 10th Annual Arts Alive Banners exhibit was recently unveiled, and the 101 banners, each an original work of art, are proudly hanging on the street lights along the main drag through Leucadia and downtown Encinitas (a distance of 6 miles – how cool is that?).

The banners will all be sold at a 3-month long silent auction, with the final “live” auction in June. Bidding starts at $150 and can be placed through the Downtown Encinitas Main Street Association (DEMA) office at (760) 934-1950.

You can see more photos on display at the Encinitas 101 and 101 Artists Colony websites. Or better yet, take a pleasant drive along the coast to view them in person, and enjoy the beach and lunch or dinner as well.

That's a great promo to have. Must make the area look very colorful! Maybe we should try something like that here ... would give us some color other than white and gray!

Sally - yep, it is pretty neat, although the banners themselves are not all that large. Each is different and most are very colorful.

Elaine - it's a pretty cool event. And it has been modeled by many other communities around the country. Maybe you should generate some interest in your area with one of the arts groups.
