Horsetowns: Norco
Parade of Lights. Lucky to Live Here
If it sounds like living in Norco
is heaven on earth for horse lovers, that’s because it is. No less than six tack and feed stores are located within a mile of each other on Sixth Street. A multi- tude of farriers and equine vet- erinarians call Norco their home. Convenience stores and restau- rants feature hitching posts out- side, so you can ride your horse to dinner or for a quart of milk. And horse trails line every street, enabling you to get from one side of town to another without ever having to get off your horse. But Norco is more than just
a great environment for horse people. It is also a place fi lled with volunteers who give back to their community—tenfold. T is strong community spirit no doubt has something to do with Norco’s small-town feeling. Although bor- dered by suburban sprawl, Norco has the atmosphere of a rural Midwestern community. In fact, Hanna moved here from Orange
County because Norco reminded him of his boyhood home in rural Texas. One example of Norco’s com- munity spirit is the Miracle on Sixth Street, an event that takes place every T anksgiving and Christmas Day. Each year, a restaurant on Sixth Street hosts a free meal for anyone who needs a place to go on the holiday. Businesses and individuals in town donate the food, and volun- teers serve the meal. “We get all kinds of people
at the dinners, from families in need to single people and seniors who don’t want to be alone on the holiday,” says organizer Brent Sakamoto. “We cater to everyone.” Last Christmas, 40 volunteers
served up 16 hams, 40 pounds of stuffi ng, a dozen pies and a heaping helping of Christmas cheer at a community meal fea- turing an appearance by Santa Claus. According to Sakamoto, not everyone attending the event was from Norco.
