From the Sublime to the Ridiculous

June 4, 2010

For the sublime, this weekend Temecula Valley is once again hosting the Balloon & Wine Festival. The festival begins today at Lake Skinner in the Southern California wine country. There will be dawn hot air balloon launches as well as evening balloon "glows". There will be wine tastings as well as wine and food pairings. There will musical entertainment and a kids faire. The festival opens at 5 p.m. today and 6 a,m, Saturday. For detailed information go to http://www.tvbwf.com/

For the ridiculous (well this may depend on your point of view), on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Redlands Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the Million Dollar Mutt Mansion and Pet Expo. Come to Sylvan Park in Redlands and bid on custom made dog houses throughout the day. I must say that these "Mutt Mansions" are truly works of architectural delight. There will also be a pet parade so bring your pets and join in the fun. For more information call the Chamber at 909-793-2546
