Encinitas Chamber of Commerce

The City of Encinitas is inviting residents to support the city’s local business community by participating in the first-ever Eggcinitas Eggstravaganza taking... place Friday, April 2nd through Sunday, April 4th. This is a substitution for the city’s annual Egg Hunt, which was cancelled this year due to COVID-19. The Eggcinitas Eggstravaganza is presented by the city’s Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts Department in partnership with the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce and the city’s 101 Main Street Business Associations located in Cardiff, Leucadia and Encinitas. Details - the City is providing nearly 20,000 eco-friendly eggs, stuffed with candy treats. Participating Encinitas business owners will be given at least 48 recyclable bags, each filled with five (5) eco-friendly eggs to give away throughout the weekend. Ten (10) random bags will contain a golden egg filled with a special prize. The egg giveaway begins tomorrow, Friday, April 2 and ends on Sunday, April 4. Eggs will be given away only during normal business hours which may vary. The candy-filled eggs and golden eggs will be distributed by participating businesses while supplies last. No purchase is required to participate. To view the online flyer with participating businesses (handy to have on your phone) visit, www.EncinitasCA.gov/Eggstravaganza

They use up to 80% less energy and are brighter, safer, more durable and last longer than traditional light strings. They’re easier to install too up to 24 strings of LEDs can be connected end-to-end without overloading a wall socket. #sdge #energysavings4u 2. Before climbing ladders to string outdoor lights, check for overhead power lines on your roof. Always ke...ep at least 10 feet away from overhead lines. Never place yourself or any object, such as a string of lights, in a position that risks contact with a power linethe result can be fatal. #sdge #energysavings4u 3. Set timers for holiday lights to turn on and off automatically. Keep light displays on during the evening and turn them off overnight while your business is closed. #sdge #energysavings4u 4. Before stringing lights on outdoor trees, make sure tree limbs haven’t grown into or near power lines. Branches, entire trees and even the ground adjacent to a tree can become energized when trees contact power lines. #sdge #energysavings4u 5.
