My oldest is at a horse show in Paso Robles A ding and a dong went off. I am now wondering when I read things about “Going to Paso” are the two the same. ? Yes, educate me
Yes West Coast Kustoms used to host their annual memorial day long weekend show (Cruisin Nationals)in Paso Robles. The town decided, in 2007 I think, that they didn't want them there anymore so they moved to Santa Maria. That show is on this weekend.
They have brought back the show and still do it the same weekend but it is smaller. I like paso better than Santa Maria anytime. I go there just for the weekend to get out of town. They have a cruise every Friday night that goes up-and-down the Main Street.
Yup, the city decided they didn't want the riff-raff taking over their wine-sipping little town, so they canceled the WCK's permit to hold the show. WCK moved the event to Santa Maria, but it's never been the same. It took a year or so before Paso realized the err of their ways, as many of the businesses in the downtown square area generated a large part of their annual revenue during the weekend of the show. The bars/restaurants in that area were always full throughout the weekend and many of the hotels were fully booked. That event was more like a festival than a car show as it took over the entire town.
