Something For Everyone
October 30, 2009
It seems to me that each weekend, there are more and more events occurring in our Inland Empire. I can only mention a very few, but the local newspapers are getting much better at setting aside space to inform their readers of happenings in our area. The variety this weekend truly offers something for everyone.
Now that fall is here and we are beginning to see cool, if not cold nights, the ski resorts are opening in the mountains. Mountain High Ski Resort in Wrightwood has been making snow all week. They claim to be the first to open in Southern California and one of only three resorts open in the country. There are 18 to 24 inches of snow on the ground. The resort is open from 8:340 a.m. to 10 p.m.tosay, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Prices are $25 for children ages 7 to 12, $30 for night tickets and $35 for a four hour ticket.
If you love rocks - like minerals and gems, the 34th annual Joshua Tree Gem and mineral Show takes place today through Sunday at the Sportsman's Club, 5225 Sunset Street., Joshua Tree. Show hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and Saturday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is free. For more information you can call (760) 366-2915 or on the Internet http://www.jtsportsmanclub.com/
On Sunday at the University of Redlands there will be a free concert which is entitled "Two Worlds". This concert is free to the public and will feature a Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai. Nakai is a Grammy Award nominee and he will perform two of his compositions, "Fourth World: Rainbow World" and "Shaman's Call, Whippoorwill. All of the music presented in the concert will be music composed by Native American and Latino composers. The concert is at 3 p.m. in the University of Redlands Memorial Chapel.
And lastly, remember that at 2 a.m. Sunday morning it is time to "Fall Back". Time to reset your clocks from daylight saving time to standard time. You gain one extra hour.
