ShandonHelp wanted: Sales representative for local media & digital marketing
If you've driven through Paso Robles lately, you've seen the local businesses that make our corner of the 805 feel like home — and behind many of them is Access Publishing, a company that's been helping SLO County shops, wineries, and service providers get discovered for two decades. Now they're looking to add a sales representative to their team, part-time or full-time. For folks in Shandon and the surrounding North County, this is a nice reminder that local media and digital marketing isn't just a big-city game. It's neighbors helping neighbors get found — whether you're running a ranch supply outfit, a tasting room, or a small shop off the main drag. Details ran in the Paso Robles Daily News (Shandon), so if you or someone you know has a knack for connecting with people and wants to work close to home, it might be worth a look. Good local jobs are worth keeping an eye on.
ShandonCentral Coast Zoo to host 13th annual Brew at the Zoo
Mark your calendars, Shandon! The Central Coast Zoo is bringing back its 13th annual Brew at the Zoo, and it's shaping up to be a fantastic evening for a great cause. As reported by the Paso Robles Daily News (Shandon), all proceeds from the event will go directly to the zoo's education and conservation programs—so you can sip a cold one knowing you're helping local wildlife and the community learn about them. This event is more than just a beer tasting; it's a chance to explore the zoo after hours, enjoy the company of neighbors from Atascadero and beyond, and support a Central Coast gem. Whether you're a longtime zoo fan or just looking for a fun night out, Brew at the Zoo is a perfect way to spend an evening. Grab your friends, bring your ID, and get ready to raise a glass for a good cause this fall!
ShandonMagnitude 2.74 earthquake reported southeast of Shandon
If you felt a little jolt out near Shandon this evening, you're not alone. The ground gave a gentle reminder of its presence at 6:05 p.m. when a magnitude 2.74 earthquake was recorded about 17 kilometers southeast of town, according to the United States Geological Survey. That's a small one, the kind that might make the windows rattle or the dog prick up its ears — but nothing like the big shakes we've felt in past years. Still, it's a good nudge to remind us we live on a lively piece of the planet. For folks in the 805, these little tremors are part of the rhythm of life along the Central Coast. They don't usually make headlines beyond a brief mention, but they do get neighbors talking over the fence. The Paso Robles Daily News (Shandon) picked up on this one, and it's a nice reminder to check your emergency kit and make sure your water heater is strapped — just in case the next one decides to be a bit more talkative. Stay safe, Shandon.
