Nominations still open for paint job
Homeowners or local residents who would like to nominate a friend, neighbor or family member’s home still have time to get their nominations into Hollister Paint Co. to vie for a fresh paint of coat before the December holidays. Lance Goularte, of Hollister Paint, has asked those making a nomination to submit a photographer and a short paragraph about why the homeowner is deserving to receive a free exterior coat of paint for their home. Owners should include an address, phone number, photo and short written statement about the home, but leave their names off to keep the selection anonymous. To have a home considered for the contest, drop off or mail a write up and photos to Lance Goularte: 57 East St., Hollister, CA 95023 or email
