The Iris Festival IN Yucaipa

May 20, 2011

Starting today, the 10th annual irus festival will be held this weekend at Yucaipa Community Park. At 5 p.m. today, there will be a home and garden expo, craft and food vendors and childrens activities. At 6:30 p.m. the University Jazz Band will perform. Everythin is free except some of the children's rides and the Saturday morning pancake breakfast prepared by the Kiwanis Club of Yucaipa.

I can remember aboaut 10 or 11 years ago when I went to a property in Yucaipa where the owners raised iris bulbs and sold them almost worldwide. I had never seen such beauttiful flowers in so many colors. That the community took the iris to become the city's official flower has been a grest boon to the city's image.

The Yucaipa Community Center and Park is located at 34900 Oak Glen Road.

For more information you can call 909-790-5033 or 909-790- 7460.
