Please join us for our next ***Discovering California*** event. We will spend some time exploring historic downtown Niles Canyon. Holiday decorations should be out in the downtown area this time of year.

*"Niles was established in the 1850’s and was a junction point of the Southern Pacific Railroad lines between Oakland and San Jose. In 1912, Essanay Studios was at the height of its movie making fame – making famous movies of the time starring Charlie Chaplin, Wallace Beery, and Ben Turpin. Many cowboy adventures were filmed through Niles Canyon and along the main streets of Niles. Today Fremont’s Niles District is famous for its historic shopping district, Silent Film Festival and Museum, the Niles Canyon Railway, and much more."*

Here is the link to the small Niles Canyon Film Museum:

Let's start out with tea/brunch at ***Tyme for Tea*** in downtown Niles
(37501 Niles Blvd. Fremont). This is a fairly easy drive from the Menlo Park area - about 30 minutes or so.

I requested their earliest seating at **11:00 AM**. This should give us time to have tea/brunch and then explore the antique shops/downtown stores and small museum afterward if you are interested. If you would like to join us just for brunch that's OK too!

There are **only two choices** for tea for weekend brunch:
**1) Grand Sparkling Victorian Tea - $48**

* A three course High Tea
* With one glass of Champagne
* Beginning with a Scone – served with Creme Fraiche, Lemon Curd & Raspberry Preserves
* Five Assorted Tea Sandwiches \* some sandwiches are not vegetarian
* Three Tea Pastries
* Your choice of Tea
**OR**

**2) Victorian Tea - $45**
