What's Happening in Historic Old Town Roseville?

If you have been coming to Old Town for some time now, you've likely noticed great improvements around the neighborhood. At the end of Church Street is a new park that the Historic Old Roseville Merchant's Association (HORMA) has worked diligently toward completing. Murals representing Roseville's past and its connection to the railroad industry have been painted by Michael Stanford on the two buildings adjacent to the park. The park will eventually be home to a granite statue of a railroad conductor holding a lantern. To help raise funds for the granite statue, personalized bricks that will be placed in the park are being sold for $25.00. You can have your name, business name, slogan or other saying immortalized in Old Town Roseville! (I think Chuck has some classic sayings he might loan you!) The forms are available from Pacific Street Cafe, the Owl Club, HORMA or other numerous businesses throughout Old Town Roseville.

Additionally, you may have noticed the burgundy, white and black banners hanging in Old Town on the street light poles. These banners welcome visitors to the Historic District of Roseville. Visitors are also greeted by a new "Historic Roseville Welcomes You" sign at the end of Church Street. This sign was also designed by Michael Stanford and ties in with the murals and the new banners.

The Historic Old Roseville Merchants Association (HORMA) continues to work to improve Old Town and promote the businesses located within the neighborhood. If you have any questions about HORMA, you may contact them at P.O. Box 167, Roseville, CA 95678. Several members of the association deserve special mention for their hard work and dedication, including Mac and Marsha from Pacific Street Cafe and Ray and Dottie of RH Phipps. And for all the people in Old Town who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to improve the neighborhood, THANK YOU!

Each spring, HORMA sponsors the Strawberry Festival which takes place in Old Town. The streets in Old Town are closed and vendors set up booths throughout the neighborhood. This year, the Strawberry Festival was March 29 and it attracted several thousand visitors. There are antique dealers, crafters, activities, bands, and all types of food. It's a great place to hang out with your friends or your family.

This summer HORMA will be working in conjunction with the Downtown Roseville Merchant's Association on the street fair and car show on the last Downtown Tuesday Nights. If you make it to Downtown Roseville on a Tuesday this summer, why not stop by Old Town afterwards. It's just a short walk along Washington to Old Town!

You'll find many excellent restaurants, great services, friendly people and even a museum if you just explore a little. New shops are springing up every day and the people who live, work and play here are helping to revitalize the neighborhood. Check out the following merchants:
