✨ Introducing our 2025 Collector’s Ornament: Welcome to Bearadise! ✨
This year’s specialty piece is inspired by a true Paradise treasure — the 10-foot carved wooden bear statue that narrowly survived the Camp Fire, later restored and welcomed to its new home at the Paradise Police Department. Just like that statue, this ornament represents strength, resilience, and the beauty of our community traditions.
Thoughtfully designed by Paradise Tribute Series in collaboration with our friends at Warner Design Craft, each 5” ornament is crafted from rich walnut and cherry cuttings, hand-assembled with natural jute string, and even scented with the cozy fragrance of holiday baking spices and fresh-baked Christmas cookies.

You can find them locally starting Nov 7, at Coyote Ridge Mercantile (formerly Buffy’s Gift Barn) or online in our Etsy shop. 🎁 Pre–gift wrapped options are also available in sturdy, reusable gift boxes with festive ribbons — the perfect grab-and-go holiday gift.

Whether you hang it on your own tree or send it to loved ones who carry Paradise in their hearts, the Welcome to Bearadise ornament is more than just décor — it’s a keepsake of home, heritage, and community. 🐻🎄

An Open Letter to Moms Of The Ridge Nonprofit

To the incredible women behind Moms of the Ridge,
I just want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude and admiration for everything you’ve done to make Paradise such a magical place for families and residents alike. You’ve built something truly special here, something that captures the spirit of our community in the most joyful, heart-filled way.
From helicopter Easter egg drops over the Little League field to the unforgettable Ridge Harvest Festival, you’ve created moments that will be cherished by both the young and the young at heart. These events aren’t just gatherings, they’re core memories in the making, reminders of why we love calling the Ridge home.
Last night, I attended the second annual Ridge Harvest Festival and was absolutely blown away. The event has grown nearly threefold since last year’s debut, and it shows.
The turnout was incredible, the atmosphere electric, and the details so thoughtfully curated. From fun kids’ activities and local brews to free pumpkins for attendees, the experience was nothing short of perfect.
The Strung Nugget Band set the tone beautifully with their folk and bluegrass tunes, while guests enjoyed bites from an amazing lineup of local food trucks. (I got creative at the Meehos truck and ordered guacamole fries, which we highly recommend!) Between the standing tables for mingling and plenty of seating for families and friends, the event struck the perfect balance between lively and welcoming.
It’s clear this festival has already outgrown its humble beginnings within the Little League fields and honestly, that’s a testament to just how special it’s become. Each year, it gets bigger, better, and more beloved.
To Moms of the Ridge and every volunteer, sponsor, and community member who helped make this event happen, I want to thank you. Thank you for giving our community something so positive to rally around. Thank you for reminding us that small-town life can be full of big magic when it’s powered by heart, collaboration, and care.
The Ridge Harvest Festival has quickly become our favorite Paradise event, and I’m already counting down the days until next year. You’ve built something beautiful. Not just an event, but a festive fall tradition that belongs to all of us.
🍂 🎃 🎶 🍻🌲❤️
With heartfelt gratitude,
