Two Celebrations - Valentine's Day and President's Day
February 12, 2010
Today is Abraham Lincoln's Birthday, but the celebration will be on Monday. For a time now, we have celebrated the February birthdays of both Lincoln and Washington on a Monday in between
their actual birth dates, February 12 for Lincoln and February 22 for Washington.
Interestingly, Valentine's Day continues to be February 14, so in the middle of your three day weekend, take the opportunity to be with friends and family.
The Riverside County Fair and Date Festival opens this weekend in Indio at the Riverside Country Fairgrounds, 82-503 Highway 111. The fair that celebrates the date heritage opens today at 10 a.m. and if you get there before 3 p.m., the admission is free. Normally the admission is $8 for adults, $7 for seniors, $6 for children ages 5-12 and under 5 are free. The fair has a variety of special concerts which are part of the fun. The fair runs from today through February 21. For more information on the Internet http://www.datefest.org/
In San Bernardino County, Calico Ghost town will hold an old fashioned civil war re-enactment.
The ghost town will be transformed as two battles will take place every day. About 300 re-enactors from the Southwest region of the American Civil War Society will participate. There will also be a Civil War fashion show, a ladies tea and music from the era. The event runs Saturday through Monday. The cost is $10 for adults; $5 for children ages 6 -15 and free for children under 5. Admission on Monday will be $10 per carload. For more information on the Internet http://www.calicotown.com/
