Just in time for Christmas, Nan's Place on Main has opened at 638 Main St., near Ramona Cafe, featuring holiday decorations and gifts. Ramonans can shop for Christmas or Thanksgiving all year round.
Kathy Jo Brewer is the owner. Melanie Delacruz is the manager.
The theme is a country holiday, so shoppers will find shadow sculptures, enamel dinnerware and country western accessories, as well as Christmas gnomes, tree ornaments and tall, free-standing Santa Claus and tin soldier decorations.
