It’s back! Our annual holiday party is on the books, and you’re all invited. Why are we throwing a party, you may ask? Are we just big fans of the holiday season? Well, yes, but we’re also celebrating Paxton Gate’s 34th anniversary. This year, we’re leaning into the slightly darker folklore surrounding the holiday season (hence the Haunted Hearth theme), and we’ve asked a very special someone to join us. More on that later.
Somehow, 34 years of Paxton Gate is just as mind-blowing to us as 33 was. That’s 34 years of bringing oddities, fossils, minerals, plants, and all sorts of other “Wait, what is that?” stuff to Valencia Street. As jazzed as we are to keep doing what we do, we really couldn’t do any of it without you, our super rad customers and neighbors up and down Valencia Street.
To show y’all just how much we appreciate you, we throw an annual holiday party, and we’d love for you to attend. We’ll have drinks, finger foods, live music, and this year, a very special horned, legendary, and somewhat horrifying guest. Don’t worry, though. He’s promised not to hit anyone with his bundle of birch branches. Why he insists on carrying those around is anyone’s guess.
Anyways, join us for a night of merrymaking, holiday cheer, and hanging out with a demon summoned from the depths of the North Pole.
We’ll see y’all there.
