Wine Country Theatre presents<br />
On Golden Pond...opening Feb. 27<br />
Wine Country Theatre is thrilled to present the<br />
first production of its second season of shows, ON<br />
GOLDEN POND, written by Ernest Thompson<br />
and directed by Cynthia Anthony. The new<br />
production opens on Friday, <strong>February</strong> 27 and will<br />
run through Sunday, March 15 at The Park Ballroom,<br />
1232 Park Street in downtown Paso Robles.<br />
The play, which was presented on Broadway<br />
years before the famous movie, is considered an<br />
American classic. Set in a cabin by a lake (Golden<br />
Pond) in the state of Maine, the story of an aging<br />
couple confronted by deep family strife and their<br />
undying love even in the face of their mortality, is<br />
a humorous and warm look at life, forgiveness,<br />
hope and acceptance.<br />
The cast features well-known local actor,<br />
John Lambie, and Paso Robles newcomer Patricia<br />

After serving Paso Robles from two downtown<br />
locations on Park Street for the past 20 years, owners<br />
Peter and Amparo Carbajal are relocating their<br />
store to 843 Spring Street, next to Rabobank.<br />
“This 6500 square foot building became available<br />
in a great location with lots of parking so we decided<br />
to make the move,” said Peter. “We’re excited about<br />
the better visibility and easier access.” He expects<br />
the new location to be open by <strong>February</strong> 1.<br />
Peter has been in the furniture business for over<br />
30 years, working for his father in Southern California<br />
and Santa Maria before they opened the<br />
first Paso Robles location at the corner of 13th and<br />
Park in 1995. After a few years Peter bought the<br />
business from his father then moved it to the former<br />
Sears building at 1336 Park in 2010. In 2003 he had<br />
also added the 9500 square foot Home Elegance<br />
store in the Von’s Center at 1171 Creston Road.<br />
“Customer service has always been our main<br />
focus. We take care of our customers, no pressure.<br />
We guard our small town reputation and go the<br />
extra distance to meet their needs, even after warranties<br />
have expired we’ll back up the piece sold,”<br />
said Peter. “I’m in Paso Robles for life and I want<br />
to keep their business in the years ahead. We have<br />
Alexander. Claire Fundaro, Kevin Ager and Beth<br />
Marshall play Chelsea, Bill and the Operator<br />
(respectively). Dylan Ginng, a young 12 year old<br />
actor from Paso Robles plays the role of Billy Ray.<br />
The cast, director and technical crew have many<br />
professional credits and represent the kind of local<br />
talent that Wine Country Theatre seeks to find.<br />
“We want to build a community of artists and<br />
audiences. Community theatre has the special<br />
power to bring us together, to help our towns<br />
become communities. Many creative people have<br />
joined together who share a vision of putting on<br />
quality shows that not only entertain the audience<br />
but also broaden the understanding of the world<br />
in which we live,” states Laurie Zenobio, Communications<br />
Director for the company.<br />
ON GOLDEN POND will open on Friday,<br />
Paso Robles Furniture is moving<br />
knowledgable personnel…store manager Roger<br />
Espinoza and sales people Josie Williams and<br />
Sandra McDermott with that same customer service<br />
philosophy.<br />
Owners Peter and Amparo Carbajal<br />
“Our store has been evolving the last few years<br />
into more custom ordering. Basically anything in<br />
the store - a couch, sectional, bedroom set…anything<br />
you want - can be customized to fit your<br />
needs. Or if someone has an existing piece of furniture<br />
that just needs to be updated, we can reupholster<br />
and provide a new look and feel, to their<br />
specifications.<br />
<strong>February</strong> 27 at 7:30 p.m. and run through Sunday,<br />
March 15 on Fridays and Saturdays at<br />

“Usually you go into a furniture store and<br />
what you see is what you get, but we go way<br />
beyond that. And…if you bought on line,<br />
you paid too much…period. I encourage people<br />
to visit our stores and experience the<br />
difference for themselves. Why compromise<br />
when you can customize?” said Peter. “I’m<br />
always keeping up-to-date on the latest<br />
trends and styles attending furniture shows and<br />
the markets.”<br />
Both stores offer free local delivery with layaways<br />
and financing available, open Monday<br />
through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 10 a.m.<br />
to 4 p.m. on Sundays. Paso Robles Furniture new<br />
location is 843 Spring Street, phone 227-0145<br />
and Home Elegance, in the Von’s Center, 1171<br />
Creston Road, phone 237-0754.<br />
