East County Events: November 29 and Beyond

by ECT

Here is a look at this weekends events in East Contra Costa County which kicks off with Small Business Saturday in downtown Brentwood.  There will also be a Christmas Tree Lighting at the Streets of Brentwood and a Brentwood PAL Fundraiser this evening.

Downtown Brentwood Small Business SaturdayBrentwood Small Business Saturday
Shop local and support your small businesses in downtown Brentwood. Look for specials and gift ideas at the stores throughout Downtown Brentwood!

When you shop local you are supporting Downtown merchants in their commitment to help increase the number of jobs, improve the quality of life and overall strengthen our community. Money spent here re-circulates as locally owned businesses buy from other local businesses. Tax dollars go further, customer service is better, and it helps keep Vacaville unique.
