This weekend, April 28th and 29th, kicks off two annual spring events in the City of Redlands.
The Redlands Horticultural & Improvement Society will be hosting the Flower Show and Garden Tour. The Noon Kiwanis Club will hold its "Run Trough Redlands.

This year will be the 95th annual Flower Show for the Redlands Horticultural & improvement Society. It will be held from 2 - 6 P.M. on Saturdayand 10 A.M. -5 P.M. on Sunday. The event begins at the ESRI Cafeteria at 380 New York Street. New York Street is only accesible from Redlands Blvd. The winners of floral arrangements and of plants specimans will be at the ESRI Cafeteria. There will also be a plant sale at the Prospect Park Carriage House. The maps for the private gardens that will be open for tour can also be obtained at the ESRI Cafeteria.

As a spin off from the flower show and garden tour, The Redlands Art Association will be hosting "Art Alive". This event is held at the Redlands Art Association Gallery at 215 E. State Street in downtown Redlands. There will be paintings and sculptures and the added attraction of live floral arrangements. For more information call (909) 792-8435.

This will be the 24th annual Run Through Redlands. Racers can register online at www.redlandsevents.com While it is too late for early registration, I believe you can register Sunday. There will be a 5K, a 10K, a half Marathon as well as 2K Run for Fun and a Kinderdash.

All races begin at Smiley Public Library on Vine Street at 7:25 A.M. and end at the Redlands Bowl. This is a great event and competitive atheletes can gather points professionally.

The weather man promises a great day weatherwise and the sponsors of each event are enthusiastic about their offerings.
