"We re- ceived a special invitation to set up for the holiday season and we have several pieces here that are for sale." While the first few weeks have not had a high attendance, the group hopes that as word of mouth spreads the numbers will be better, Brehm said. The non- profit association has a mission of bringing art opportunities, education and enrichment to the Northern California valley. There are about 120 pieces available for viewing that rep- resent 23 different artists in the community. Works are avail- able in everything from prints and miniature versions that are also originals to Giclees, which are digital prints made on inkjet printers.

"We had 51 entries, which is our largest parade in recent years," said Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Commerce CEO Dave Gowan. "Law-en- forcement told me this is the largest crowd they remember due to the good weather." Red Bluff Police assisted in the event with traffic control and lead the parade, clearing the way for the Tehama County Young Marines, who presented the colors and carried the grand marshal banner for the Tehama County Library staff, who served as grand marshals. A number of youth organi- zations participated including Bend Jelly, Westside and El Camino 4-H clubs, Red Bluff Jr. Round-Up Royalty, Corn- ing Jr. Rodeo Little Miss and Tehama County Youth Focus. There were a number of business and non-profits alike in the parade, including the Salvation Army, which had vol- unteers with red kettles and a large version of the red kettle as a reminder of the red kettle campaign that is synonymous with the holiday season.
