First Friday Fans Frolic with the Bears
First Friday Fans from around the Peninsula are excited to visit downtown Los Altos on Friday, September 3rd to dance, dine and frolic with the Bears of Los Altos from 6-9pm
A sleuth of bears has descended on the charming Silicon Valley town.
“No need to worry though, the artist created bears are our friends,” says Jamie Lucia, First Friday Co-chair and owner of Altos Animal Chiropractic. The Bears of Los Altos are being auctioned off to support Los Altos Rotary Club’s local and international charitable causes.
“The Bears are super fun to pose with” says Garsten, seen below posing with “Nanuk the Polar Bear“ by Barbara Bussler. Nanuk’s temporary home is outside Garsten’s Nature Gallery at the corner of 2nd & State. She could find her new home in your beautiful garden if you are the highest bidder. You can click on the QR code at any bear location to make your bid at losaltosbears@losaltosrotary.org
“While you wander around checking out the 14 bands playing outdoors in downtown Los Altos on First Friday, don’t forget to post a picture with your favorite bear on social media to help spread the word for a good cause”, says Carol Dabb, Chair of the Bears of Los Altos Los Altos Rotary Club fundraiser.
“First Friday Frolicing Fans photos tagging First Friday FB or Instagram during First Friday will make for lots of First Friday winners,” says Donna Drako, first Friday committee member.
“First Friday is all about having fun,” says Drako.
Prize can be picked up on First Friday from 6-9pm at Veterans Community Plaza or at Nature Gallery.

Los Altos First Fridays are community-building events held during the evenings of the first Friday of the month in Downtown Los Altos. First Fridays are meant to be a fun, social evening for residents of Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, and neighboring communities. It is a great opportunity to shop, dine, and explore what Downtown has to offer. Many downtown merchants extend their hours, offer complimentary refreshments, and provide fun and interesting in-store activities. Music on the streets livens the evening. And, of course, our many fine restaurants are open. Bring your family. Invite your friends and neighbors. Catch-up with people you haven?t seen for a while.Los Altos First Fridays are organized by Los Altos Forward, a group of residents, merchants and property owners dedicated to promoting vibrancy in our downtown. Los Altos Forward is a program of the Los AltosCommunity Foundation.
Good ideas and talents are welcome! If you or someone you know would like to perform at an upcoming First Friday or if you would like to be part of the fun organizing or promoting this event, let us know.
