Paso Robles
Locals can attend free horse shows in Paso Robles to learn more about the equine competitions planned from Oct. 22 through Nov. 1.
The Pacific Coast Cutting Horse Association Futurity — a regional group that hosts more than 150 competitions annually in various states — features a show that requires a horse and rider to “cut” a cow out of its herd, organizers said, and keep it from returning.
The free shows begin about 8 a.m. each day at the Paso Robles Event Center, 2198 Riverside Ave. For more information, visit www.pccha.com.

Paso Robles
The Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance will feature a new section highlighting local historical organizations in its 2010 tour brochure.
Slated for a May 2010 distribution, the nonprofit wine group prints more than 300,000 copies of the brochures for consumers, media and wine trades nationwide. The publication features a map of venues related to the wine industry.
“Paso Robles is rich in history, and these societies tell the story of our past,” said Alliance spokeswoman Meagan Callahan. “Paso and the Central Coast’s history have impacted the wine industry, and we feel wine enthusiasts have a thirst to understand this history.”
The new section of the publication will detail the Atascadero Historical Society, Cambria Historical Society, Camp Roberts Historical Museum, Estrella Warbird Museum, Mission San Miguel, Rios Caledonia Adobe, Paso Robles Children’s Museum, El Paso de Robles Historical Society, Paso Robles Pioneer Museum, Santa Margarita Historical Society and Templeton Historical Museum.
