Free admission goes to the first 100 attendees each day and all patrons who bring non-perishables for donation to the Food For Life Ministry will receive $2 off on their ticket. Friday’s grand opening ribbon cutting kicks off with presentations from local dignitaries before doors open to reveal hundreds of exhibiting artists showcasing more than 24,000 hand-made creations, live entertainment, a Kidzone, crafting demonstrations, contests, and engaging festivities that are a treat for all the senses. Entry is good for the entire weekend. Between original art pieces, stunning jewelry, ceramics, blown glass, woodcarvings, clothing and accessories, fall décor, ornaments, furniture, and more, the hardest part is deciding what you can’t live without. Patrons can visit with the artists, get items personalized, and even learn some creative ideas from crafting demonstrations. Local artist Yoney Wood of Moreno Valley is already busy at work to feature her “One Of A Kind” creations in appliqué clothing and matching earrings. “My husband calls me a fabric-holic because wherever I go I’m always on the hunt for unique and festive patterns that will look great on shirts and accessories,” she says, adding that, “I have loads of fun with everything I make and I find the creative process from concept to completion extremely rewarding.” Wood’s penchant for art grew from doodles in her adolescence, to earning a coveted art scholarship during her senior year of high school Storm Drains go directly to the ocean.

Her signature trademark is an intricate, scalloped-cut neckline accented by hand-painted detailing. In many cases she also creates matching earrings to make the outfit complete – a complex process that took a year to perfect. Wood says, “Years ago I really got into creating and wearing my own designs and then my friends kept pleading with me make something special for them. Little did I know I would be fortunate enough to turn my passion into an enterprise I can continue to share with others.” Wood says, “What I respect most about the Harvest Festival is the outstanding caliber of the artists involved. We all share the same passions for what we do and we really enjoy the opportunity to share that love with patrons who appreciate the personal touch of handmade artistry.” You’ll find her at exhibitor booth #135. Beyond the arts and crafts presentations, there is plenty happening at the Harvest Festival. With free “make ‘n’ take” crafts for youngsters, Macaroni Kid Ontario hosts the kids’ activity area that includes free child ID imprinting courtesy of New York Life, and a “build it” zone where Upland Home Depot team members offer personalized instruction to build a free take home memento. Face painting adds to the fun. The Knots of Love organization provides convenient parcel and bag check and daily prize drawings offer incentives. Southern California’s multi-talented duo, “Hyjinx,” takes to the main stage with an energetic blend of classic rock and R&B, Motown, swing and all the standard hits. The lineup also features the captivating Scott Land Marionettes show, blending old-world charm with contemporary entertainment.

Community members, Healthy Fontana staff and partner Southland Farmers’ Market Association (SFMA) celebrated its grand opening on Saturday, August 1. Like the first location, the market will offer fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables grown in the Inland Empire, as well as juices, breads, specialty items and more. The 12-15 vendors at each location include organic soaps, homemade hummus, handmade wood carvings and farmers of all sorts. The Fontana Farmers’ Market is truly an important event throughout the year. It brings together all the people of the surrounding area to enjoy the bounty of the locally grown produce, delicious baked goods and beautifully hand crafted items. Everything that is for sale is grown or produced by the person selling it. That is what makes the markets unique. There are plenty of opportunities for people to discuss how the product was grown or made. This exchange draws the community together and makes it a better place to live. Nearly 10 area farmers sell home grown produce, but the market is more than just produce! Fresh tamales, pure honey and farm fresh eggs draw the Fontana community to the markets. Both Fontana Farmers’ Markets are open every Saturday from 8am – 1pm. Locations include the market on the corner of Sierra Avenue and Arrow Boulevard and the new location on the corner of Cherry and Live Oak Avenue located in the parking lot of the Don Day Neighborhood Center, 14501 Live Oak Avenue, Fontana. EBT and debit cards are accepted at each location. In conjunction with the City of Fontana, the Southland Farmers’ Market Association (SFMA) has committed to bringing Fontana residents nutritious, in season produce so residents have even more opportunities to make healthy food choices. To provide this service, SFMA organizes the market, locates the farmers, and chooses the best produce for Fontana residents. “We hire farmers based on what they grow, how it’s grown, and how much of it they grow,” said Howell Tumlin, Executive Director of Southland Farmers’ Market Association. The SFMA, a nonprofit organization, has served many areas of Southern California for over 30 years. The Fontana community benefits from this depth of experience by having fresh and delicious fruits and vegetables available to them every week. Residents are encouraged to attend the Farmers’ Market to purchase their fruits and vegetables, speak with growers, learn about the various foods and discover many other nutritious foods available at the market. “A farmers’ market builds a strong sense of community for our residents and the market is a fun experience for the whole family.

IN BIG BEAR Robby Krieger’s Jam Kitchen September 26 B orn in Los Angeles, Robby Krieger was convinced by a Chuck Berry concert to give rock music a go. Studying physics and Indian music at UCLA, Krieger played in bands with friends, and eventually bumped into a drummer he’d met a few years before, John Densmore. It was at a meditation class that Krieger met keyboardist Ray Manzarek who eventually convinced Krieger to come down and rehearse with a poet/singer he’d been working with, Jim Morrison. Their first rehearsal supposedly resulted in the penning of “Moonlight Drive,” giving birth to the Doors. Quickly building a name for themselves in L.A. with their unpredictable live shows, the Doors were signed to Elektra Records, and issued their debut album, the Doors, in 1967. The album would become one of rock’s all-time classics, as it spawned the monster hit “Light My Fire,” a tune penned entirely by Krieger. The Doors followed with many more hits until Morrison’s untimely death. Krieger would go on to issue solo albums in addition to playing live dates, and guest appearances on albums by other artists (the Butts Band, Blue Öyster Cult, etc.).

IER TRANSPARENTPRODUCTIONS.COM Players Presents ‘The Just So Stories’ R iverside Community Players presents The Just So Stories by the well-loved author Rudyard Kipling. This is the first show in the RCP’s 2015-2016 Family Series. Ever wonder how the armadillo came to be or how the elephant got his trunk? The Just So Stories answer these questions and more, in five of Rudyard Kipling’s “How the animal came to be...” tales. These delightful narratives come to life as Kipling’s daughter and seven of her friends act them out, embodying each character. Imagination and creativity run wild as the audience is taken through several locations and adventures of a Parsee with a rhinoceros, a Djinn in his cloud of dust, and a jaguar who cannot catch his dinner. These wistful kids transform into camels, kangaroos, birds, snakes, rhinos, and even water! Audiences of all ages will get caught up in this highly energized and engaging show. The Just So Stories runs the weekend of October 9th – 11th. Evening performances at 8pm and Sunday matinee at 2pm. Call the box office for tickets and reservations at (951) 686-4030.

IER 17 CSUSB THEATRE ANNOUNCES ITS 2015-2016 SEASON OF PLAYS Celebrating 50 Years of the Arts in San Bernardino F rom “Tartuffe,” the 1664 tale by Molière, to brand new works by Cal State San Bernardino playwrights in the making, the CSUSB theatre arts department celebrates the university’s 50th anniversary when it opens its 20152016 season this fall. In addition to the Barnes Theatre and Black Box productions, this year the university is taking two of its larger main stage productions on the road to the Indian Wells Theater at CSUSB’s Palm Desert Campus. STUDENT NEW PLAY SHOWCASE TARTUFFE The season kicks off with the Student New Play Showcase, a celebration of the creativity of new and aspiring student playwrights. Featuring never-before seen plays, these intimate stories are read by a talented cast of actors in the Black Box Theatre. The plays will be delivered in their rawest form: no costumes, props, or sets – just an emotional performance with a focus on the material. The Student New Play Showcase is a limited, 3-day only engagement with performances Oct. 23-25, 2015. Following the new plays is a wickedly powerful and provocative take on an old tale, Tartuffe, by Molière. This comedic classic from 1664 was the center of great controversy and censorship upon its release, and has now been masterfully adapted by David Ball, making it just as relevant and poignant as the day it first debuted. When a seemingly pious Tartuffe assimilates himself into the wealthy Orgon family, he gains access to the family’s home, throwing everyone into turmoil. As Orgon falls for the scoundrel’s ruse, Tartuffe’s deceit takes a dangerous turn. Tartuffe will be directed by theatre department chair Terry Donovan Smith. As it happens, it was in 1990 that Ron Barnes, for whom the theatre was named in 2004, directed the same play. Barnes was a founding faculty member when the college opened in 1965 and founded the Theatre Arts Department 43 years ago in 1972. Tartuffe opens Nov. 13, 2015, running for nine performances through Nov. 22, when the show will pick up and move to the Palm Desert Campus for three additional performances the weekend of Dec. 5. Oct. 23-25, 2015 THE ARABIAN NIGHTS April 8-10 In winter 2016, the Theatre Arts Department presents The Arabian Nights, by Mary Zimmerman. For 1,001 nights the young maiden Scheherazade weaves spellbinding tales in an attempt to prevent her husband, the ruler Shahryar, from executing her. Will her tales of love, lust, comedy, and dreams prove enough to stay her cruel husband’s blade? With the recurring theme of how the magic of storytelling holds the power to change people, this adaptation offers a wonderful blend of the lesser-known tales from Arabian Nights, with a final scene taking the audience on a journey to modern-day Baghdad and the dangers threatening the culture’s vibrant history. The Arabian Nights, directed by Professor Kathryn Ervin, opens March 11, 2016, and runs for nine performances in the Barnes Theatre at CSUSB before landing at the Indian Wells Theater on the Palm Desert Campus for an additional three performances, April 8-10. HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING June 3 with nine performances through June 12 Theatre caps the university’s 50th anniversary seasons of productions in June with Frank Loesser and Abe Burrows’ How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. This musical production is a satirical tale of ambition, capitalism, caffeine addiction and questionable ethics. It follows Young, a window washer, Finch, on his meteoric rise to becoming chairman of the board, and his efforts to win the heart of secretary Rosemary along the way. How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying opens June 3 with nine performances through June 12. 18 Weekend of Dec. 5 ARTS & MUSIC FESTIVAL Friday, May 20, 2016 Friday, May 20, 2016, rain or shine, the Theatre Arts Department will once again join in the festivities of the Fourth Annual Arts & Music Festival.

New York Critic David Roberts review stated: “Remarkable! There are country, folk, rock and pop songs along with solo fiddle and piano and short comedy sketches akin to those on the weekly variety show Hee Haw. Misty Rowe is a gifted performer who showcases her amazing band of multi-instrumentalists.” Bloomberg Radio Network stated: “The Hee Haw Honeys whip us into an adoring frenzy!” While Rolling Stone Magazine declared that Hee Haw made Barbi Benton a household name and that “Hee Haw, the series, definitely left its mark on pop culture.” A Hee Haw Honey Reunion is produced by Barry Singer and Julie Grandi, written and directed by Misty Rowe, and costumes designed by Faye Sloan, the original costume designer for Hee Haw and Hee Haw Honeys. Ms. Sloan also worked for Universal Studios and designed for movies that starred Willie Nelson and Kenny Rogers and is famous for creating Minnie Pearl’s dress.

The center serves as the medical home for more than 6,000 residents in one of Riverside’s lowest-income neighborhoods. The expansion will allow the clinic to facilitate more than 12,000 patients a year nearly doubling the clinic’s capacity. As part of their ongoing dedication to improve how children are treated, funds raised will go to adding child-friendly furniture, exam tables, and painting the rooms to create a childfriendly atmosphere. A portion of the funds will also support the Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Resource Center by providing free diagnostic screenings for local residents with breast health concerns. Expanding the Eastside Health Center will increase health education classes that promote healthy eating, active living and healthy behaviors. By adding behavioral health to services provided, they can reduce the likelihood of serious medical problems, and ultimately that of overcrowded emergency room facilities. Good health is a sign of a good community. RCHF hopes you agree and attend A Night in Madrid for this great cause. Learn more about A Night in Madrid by visiting, www.rchf.org/madrid.
