Sadie’s Salon owner Tim Cabral has been named to be the grand marshal of Saturday’s Christmas Parade through downtown Manteca. Humbled by his selection, Cabral was quick to say it’s not about him but about his late mother’s business that she first established in the 100 block of North Grant Avenue 76 years ago.To prove his point about the “family” theme of the business with many longtime employees, he is not going to be heading up the line of march by himself but with four of his hair stylists in a Chrysler convertible with him representing 133 years of service to their Manteca area clients.Carla Fredriks has been with Sadie’s for 42 years, Sharon Alton has been in the salon for 35 years, Connie Smith for 30 years, and Debbie Volk, 26 years.“The five of us will just be representing Sadie’s,” he said.With a degree in accounting, Tim has admittedly stayed in the background keeping the business afloat financially and providing a working schedule for his stylists to serve both men and women at the West Yosemite Avenue shop.Tim cracked a big smile when he recalled his mother’s selection as grand marshal for the same parade. “She thought she was going to be in a car by herself,” he said.
