​Alina Constantinescu led a marvelous Trail Trekkers hike this past Sunday, taking 16 people up and through the Hillside Natural Area to take in views, the sunset, and the Sundar Shadi display along Moeser Lane.

Sundar’s display, a holiday tradition since 1949, can be seen until December 26. Don’t miss it. There is also a smaller display of his holiday figures in the window of Pastime Hardware.

Thanks to the Sundar Shadi Committee for putting this display on!

Alina leads the way, always with a smile.

Views from the Hillside Natural Area are one good reason to enjoy life in El Cerrito.

The late Sundar Shadi displayed his holiday scene for decades alongside his home on Arlington.
