Campus and city dignitaries will address the crowd, leading up to a blue-and-gold ribbon-cutting at noon.

The street in front of the store will be blocked off to make way for the band. Gunrock will be there, too, with his mascot pals from the city, Hamburger Patty and Mr. Toad.

The grand opening will feature giveaways, prizes and refreshments. The store will be giving away blue-and-gold fabric leis (while supplies last). And, when you make a $10 purchase, you will receive a drawstring backpack bag or a UC Davis T-shirt. The prizes include sweatshirts, an olive oil gift basket, a Campus Grown bowl and Aggie football tickets.

Aggie T-shirts, sweatshirts and polo shirts. Books by UC Davis authors. Aggie pens and pennants. Aggie coffee cups, license plates and stuffed animals. UC Davis olive oil.

Where am I?

You could be at the bookstore in the Memorial Union, or you could be at the new branch store at Second and F streets in Davis. The UC Davis Store Downtown had a “soft” opening June 25 and will go big-time with a grand opening next weekend, Friday through Sunday, July 8 to 10. See box for grand opening details.

The 4,200-square-foot branch is an Aggie store and more, carrying a complete line of school and office supplies, greeting cards, sundries and other convenience items such as candy, chips and cold drinks, as well as city of Davis souvenirs.

It is the first bookstore branch to be located off-campus (not counting the Sacramento store across the street from the UC Davis Medical Center).

Creative Daily: Silk Ribbon Embroidery

I'll start by saying the very detailed fine feather stitch is NOT stitched by me - I only wish!  I arrived to Karen's class and she had stitched up the grid for me - can you believe it!  This left me time to focus my attention on learning the flowers.  I have played with silk ribbon work a very tiny bit but Karen's classes gave me the confidence to move forward.  Thank you Karen!
