Cars, Chili and Trains
September 11, 2009
Every weekend families can find interesting outings in the Inland Empire. Last Friday I mentioned the Coral Farmers' Market in Ontario. I went down and checked it out and it was a great learning experience. This weekend, there are some less exotic happenings, but certainly great for car and train fans.
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. the Kiwanis Club of Highland is sponsoring it's first Car Show and Chili cook-off. It will be held at the Highland Community Park. Admission is free, but unlimited chili tasting is $5 per person. More information (909)553-9169 or (909) 889-4575
For the train fans, the Orange Empire Railway Museum will be hosting its annual Railroadiana Swap Meet from 9 a.m. until noon on Saturday. This swap meet is the largest of its kind in Southern California. Admission is $5 or $12 for an all day pass that includes trolley and train rides. More information at (951)943-3020 04 http://www.oerm.org/
I cannot end this blog of September 11 without a reminder that today has been declared a National Day of Service. Fly your American flag and find a way to be helpful to your family or your friends or for any community organization. As someone who was at 25th and 5th Avenue in lower Manhattan and saw the first plane that hit the World Trade Center, this day will always hold unforgettable memories.
