The Holiday Season Is Upon Us
November 27, 2009
Finish up this Thanksgiving weekend at the sixth annual Apple Butter Festival at Riley's at Los Rios Rancho on Oak Glen Road. Turning aging apples into apple butter has historically been the way to preserve apples for the winter. Admission to the ranch is free but there are fees for some activities. Saturday evening there will be an old fashioned hoedown with music by Riley's Mountaineer Band.
Winterfest is a family event that held at Arlington Park in Riverside on Saturday. Families who bring a canned good will receive a free ticket for a raffle drawing. The usual fun attractions will include pony rides, a petting zoo, a train and jumpers. There will also be a coloring corner where participants will receive a bear prize when they color a sheet. The hours are 3-8 p.m. Saturday. The park is located at 3860 Van Buren Blvd. in Riverside.
And, of course, today begins the 17th annual Festival of Lights on Main Street in Riverside. At 6:15 p. m. this evening, the lights will be turned on. Downtown Riverside will be illuminated with more than three and a half million lights and fireworks. There will be an outdoor skating on a rink located on Main Street between University and Mission Avenues. Hours this weekend are Friday, 4-11 p.m.; Saturday, noon until 11 p.m. and Sunday, noon until 10 p.m. One hour of skating is $10 and skate rental is $3. Downtown Riverside and the Mission Inn become a holiday wonderland.
And for car buffs, there are car shows everywhere. Start your Saturday morning with Taco Joe's Highland Breakfast Cruise and Toy Drive, 9 a.m. until noon. Taco Joe's Mexican Restaurant is located at 26659 Highland Avenue in Highland. For details call 909-874-0846 or 909-841-0717.
