Rain couldn’t keep away the holiday cheer in Redwood City on Saturday. Residents from around the Peninsula flocked to Redwood City to see Santa, play in the snow and enjoy the various entertainment and art in downtown Redwood City.

The evening ended with a big fireworks finale.

    I agree, the public has the right to know what they are eating. It is absurd to be purchasing food…Read More that contains GMOs and not be able to know it is in the food.... why the secret if it is so safe??? I will not shop at any food stores that refuse to provide the public with information on what I am eating or serving to the people I care about. Trader Joes and Whole Foods have my loyalty for having the courage to stand up against the big guys and set an example by doing what is right for the consumer and not folding to pressure from Monsanto, Dupont and the other corporate giants that could care less about our safety and only care about how much money they can rake in.
