EVERY<br />

WEDNESDAY IS<br />

BADGE DAY<br />

2-FOR-1 TICKETS AT BIG BEAR SNOW PLAY<br />

Badge-carrying personnel get two-for-one<br />

lift tickets Wednesdays (non-holiday)<br />

while enjoying inner tubing in the Southland<br />

at Big Bear Snow Play.<br />

Active law enforcement, fire, and military<br />

personnel buy one lift pass and get another free<br />

every Wednesday at Big Bear Snow Play. Just<br />

show proper ID each Wednesday and get a free<br />

lift ticket with the purchase of a pass. It’s a $35<br />

value.<br />

“It’s our way of giving back to those who<br />

serve,” said Scott Voigt of Big Bear Snow Play.<br />

Badge Days are available year-round when Big<br />

Bear Speedway opens in April (weather permitting)<br />

for timed kart racing on a Grand Prix-style<br />

track.<br />

Big Bear Snow Play, once a ski area known<br />

as Rebel Ridge, offers worldclass inner tubing<br />

on the longest runs in Southern California. As<br />

the guns continue to blast jet streams of snow,<br />

Big Bear Snow Play builds special features like<br />

whoop-di-doos and berms in addition to its<br />

traditional downhill runs.<br />

For after dark thrills Big Bear Snow Play last<br />

season debuted Glow Tubing night sessions,<br />

as the runs are illuminated by changing strobe<br />

lights that turn red, blue, yellow, and even<br />

black lights. Night Glow Tubing is available on<br />

Fridays, Saturdays, and holiday periods from<br />

5-9pm.<br />

Getting to the top of all the snow is easy<br />

thanks to Magic Carpet uphill lifts that families<br />

merely step on and off of. No uphill climb to<br />

tire parents and kids out means they save all<br />

their energy for downhill fun and get in all the<br />

runs they want.<br />

Snow gets groomed nightly at Big Bear Snow<br />

Play to ensure the best possible conditions for<br />

guests, who enjoy evenly-spread corduroy for<br />

their downhill adventures. When it’s time for<br />

a winter warm-up, head inside the heated base<br />

lodge for family-priced snack bar and video<br />

games and there’s plenty of paved parking.<br />

Big Bear Snow Play is open daily for inner<br />

tubing from 10am-4pm. All-day passes include<br />

tube rental and Magic Carpet lift for $35. After<br />

dark Glow Tubing sessions Fridays, Saturdays,<br />

and holidays from 5-9pm are priced at $30 as<br />

guests slide on fluorescent tubes under alternative<br />

color lights.<br />

Big Bear Snow Play is in Big Bear on Big<br />

RAMONA<br />

Our History, Our Legacy<br />

Color photos by Joel Ortiz.<br />

When Helen Hunt Jackson wrote her<br />

story “Ramona” she intended it to be<br />

a tale of injustice and the abuse of the<br />

Native Americans. Little did she know it would<br />

turn out to be one of the most enduring love<br />

stories of the 20th Century. Biographer Ruth<br />

Odell wrote of Jackson, “Her contact with the<br />

Indians set off a fuse of idealism she had not<br />

known she possessed.” And while she was an<br />

advocate for the tribes in our local area, she also<br />

wrote a novel that drew people to California in<br />

droves to visit the romantic locales describe in<br />

“Ramona”. The tale of Ramona and Alessandro<br />

brought tourists to California as never before.<br />

In 1913 Chester Kline, publisher and editor<br />

of The San Jacinto Valley Register, wrote an<br />

article suggesting that the city weave the story of<br />

Ramona into the activities of the annual carnival.<br />

He pointed out that the first chapters of the<br />

book “teems with references to the San Jacinto<br />

Valley”. Several people were interested but it was<br />

IN THE BEGINNING: The first Ramona<br />

and Alessandro portrayals in 1923.<br />

members of the Hemet Chamber of Commerce<br />

who finally got the job done and hired Garnett<br />

Holme to write and direct the first production<br />

of “Ramona” in 1923.<br />

A wooden stage with a cheesecloth backdrop<br />

and the audience sitting on blankets and rocks<br />

was the setting for the first performance. Now<br />

with 95 years have come many improvements<br />

in both the setting and accommodations for the<br />

audience; there has even been an update to the<br />

play itself.<br />

However, the spirit of the play has remained<br />

the same. The injustice to the Native Americans<br />

still rings through but over the seasons the play<br />

has added more of the celebration of the Native<br />

American traditions. The Red Tail Spirit Dancers<br />

share the joy of the Elder blessing in a way<br />

that is beautiful and authentic. Internationally<br />

TRADITIONS: Ramona Hoop Dancers.<br />

12<br />

March, 2018 Inland Entertainment Review


RAMONA: Spanish dancers.<br />

ALWAYS A CROWD: The crowd at<br />

the parking lot for Ramona in 1925.<br />

recognized Hoop dancer Terry Goedel amazes<br />

with his performance.<br />

When the novel was first published the<br />

tourists came to California to see the setting of<br />

the story fascinated by the portrayal of life on<br />

a rancho, to see where Ramona and Alessandro<br />

lived and died. Much of Jackson’s novel uses true<br />

life occurrences; a Native American was killed<br />

by Sam Temple and his trial was held in San Jacinto,<br />

there were tribes in danger of losing their<br />

lands - in fact Jackson herself hired a lawyer who<br />

defended the Soboba tribe and helped them<br />

keep their land.<br />

When the valley residents chose the site of<br />

the Ramona Pageant, they wanted the audience<br />

to be able to appreciate the beauty and grandeur<br />

of the natural setting. Every spring the hills<br />

come alive with the spectacle of the Ramona<br />

Pageant, the color of the Spanish dancers, the<br />

surprise of the Rock Indians, the excitement<br />

of the Cowboys as they ride the newly restored<br />

Americana trail, and the power and majesty of<br />

the ceremonies of the Native Americans.<br />

Coming to see Ramona should be an all day<br />

event. The gates to the Bowl open at 1:30pm<br />

and it is well worth it to arrive then. Enjoy<br />

RAMONA: Ramona and Felipe dancing.<br />

the entertainment in the courtyard. Eat at the<br />

Kiwanis BBQ, or for a sit down experience with<br />

the most spectacular view in the valley eat at<br />

the Ramona Terrace. You can visit the museum<br />

which tells the story of “Ramona” performances<br />

back to 1923. The gift shop has a variety of<br />

Ramona themed items.<br />

Seats for the play vary from the up close seats<br />

in the lower section to the box seats at the top<br />

of the amphitheatre that are shaded and include<br />

waitress service. Standard pricing ranges from<br />

$28 to $47. Take advantage of the local discount<br />

price of only $20 for those who live in the San<br />

Jacinto Valley and Idyllwild.<br />

The Ramona Pageant is truly a spectacle at<br />

its finest. That is why it is the longest running<br />

outdoor drama in America and California’s<br />

Official Outdoor Play. If you have never seen<br />

“Ramona” make this year the one where you<br />

learn the history and romance of the valley you<br />

live in. Become a part of the legacy that makes<br />

us so special! IER<br />

ANONYMOUS 5<br />

Live entertainment is by Anonymous 5. The<br />

Anonymous 5 dates back to 1965 when some<br />

Southern California high school friends, after<br />

watching the Beatles and the Rolling Stones on<br />

Ed Sullivan, decided to form a rock and roll<br />

band. Of the original five, the three original<br />

band members still performing are Kerry Hagney<br />

on guitar, Vince Mercurio on bass guitar,<br />

and Gary Marzolino also on guitar.<br />

A year later, 1966, Stan Stokes joined the<br />

band as the keyboard player and is still in the<br />

band. In later years, the band was joined by<br />

Vinney Mastrosimone on drums, Bob Gongwer<br />

on guitar, Jan Maletz on guitar and vocals and<br />

Jennifer Maletz on vocals. The band plays rock<br />

and roll from the 1960’s and 70’s along with a<br />

bit of everything else.<br />

THE PALM SPRINGS AIR MUSEUM<br />

The Palm Springs Air Museum is an educational<br />

non-profit organization, with over 59<br />

flying and static aircraft on display. Included<br />

in the four hangars of 86,000 square feet of<br />

The hangars are themed, and divided into<br />

the B-17 hangar, the European / Army Hangar,<br />

the Pacific / Navy hangar, and the newest<br />

hangar, the Gen. Miles Korea and Vietnam<br />

Hangar.<br />

LIVE BAND: Anonymous 5 will perform at the Palm<br />

THE FALLBROOK<br />

AVOCADO FESTIVAL<br />

For over thirty years Fallbrook, California,<br />

has been known for its spectacular Avocado<br />

Festival. Held each year in the spring, this<br />

festival showcases the amazing avocado in a<br />

friendly, small-town atmosphere.<br />

Hundreds of booths line Fallbrook’s Main<br />

Avenue, attracting thousands of people for a<br />

day of endless fun and fabulous food. The Festival<br />

will be held on Sunday, April 15 th from<br />

9am to 5pm. Admission, parking and shuttles<br />

are all free.<br />

With avocados as the theme, the food is<br />

one of the main focuses of the experience. An<br />

amazing array of avocado dishes is available,<br />

from guacamole to avocado chips to avocado<br />

ice cream. Though avocados are the food of the<br />

day, you will still find an incredible variety of<br />

dining options at the festival. Among the many<br />

food booths are offerings of barbeque, Chinese,<br />

Greek, and Mexican, just to name a few. Those<br />

with a sweet tooth will have trouble deciding<br />

between all of the desserts offered at the festival,<br />

including ice cream, funnel cakes, and cookies.<br />

Plenty of ice-cold drinks are available at the festival<br />

as well, including local beer and signature<br />

margaritas at the Main Stage area.<br />

Don’t expect to leave the Fallbrook Avocado<br />

Festival empty-handed. Avocado-themed<br />

souvenirs are just a fraction of what is available<br />

to purchase. Booths that sell avocado items are<br />

clearly marked with a “Discover Fallbrook”<br />

pennant sign.<br />

Unique crafts and dazzling jewelry are some<br />

of the more popular items for sale, but the festival<br />

also has a Farmer’s Market with a selection of<br />

agricultural goods as well. Avocados, local citrus,<br />

honey and plants are sold, along with a variety<br />

of fruits and vegetables, as well as gorgeous<br />

flowers, lush greenery, and fragrant herbs. The<br />

Artisan Walk on Alvarado contains local artists’<br />

creations and live demonstrations.<br />

There’s never a dull moment at the festival,<br />

which offers entertainment and activities<br />

for everyone. Local music performances are<br />

interspersed with live entertainment. Contests<br />

abound at the Fallbrook Avocado Festival,<br />

including Best-dressed Avocado, children’s<br />

avocado derby racing called the “Avocado 500”,<br />

Best Guacamole, Little Mr. and Miss Fallbrook,<br />

and Largest Avocado.<br />

Fallbrook is conveniently located near San<br />

Diego, Palm Springs, and Los Angeles, so it<br />

makes for a great day trip for those wanting to<br />

visit. Parking is tight for this increasingly popular<br />

event, so arrive as early as possible to secure<br />

a good space. Free and convenient shuttles are<br />

available so please check the website for pickup<br />

stops and parking.<br />

“The truth is we do not know yet,” said Vigiletti.<br />

“We are looking into that, we keep joking<br />

that we are going to give the front row squirt<br />

bottles to spray onto the stage. We hope people<br />

will just come out and see for themselves.”<br />

Singing in the Rain features songs such as<br />

“Good Morning”, “Make Em Laugh”, “You<br />

Are My Lucky Star”, “Singing in the Rain”, and<br />

many more.<br />

This show is dedicated to the artists and variety<br />

shows that have graced the Las Vegas stages over<br />

the past 75 years.<br />

shows such a special experience is the fact that<br />

the talented performers in the show are also<br />

your servers for the evening, so after they serve<br />

you a delicious dinner, they trade in their aprons<br />

for amazing costumes and take to the stage!<br />

“This element really makes the entire event<br />

interactive,” Vigiletti said. “The audience gets a<br />

chance to know the performers before the show<br />

begins and it makes them feel like they have a<br />

family member to cheer for up on the stage”.<br />

at our theater. Bringing our teams together<br />

to welcoming the IVRT family of patrons and<br />

theater lovers to Center Stage,” said Todd.<br />

An announcement in the local paper states the time and place when murder is to<br />

occur in Miss Blacklock’s Victorian house. The victim is not one of the house’s several<br />

‘All Too Human’<br />

New art exhibit explores the emotional work of Mark Strickland<br />

Images courtesy of California State University San<br />

Bernardino<br />

What does it mean to be human? This<br />

question is at the center of a new<br />

exhibition at The Robert and Frances<br />

Fullerton Museum of Art at the Cal State San<br />

Bernardino campus, featuring the deeply emotional<br />

and moving artworks of southern California<br />

artist Mark Strickland. All Too Human:<br />

The Art of Mark Strickland will highlight the<br />

artist’s lifelong exploration of the human condition<br />

including both the flaws in human nature<br />

resulting in tragedies and falls and the enduring<br />

human spirit, dignity, and compassion.<br />

Strickland first began his lifelong study of<br />

humanity at UCLA where he earned his B.A. in<br />

psychology. Finding the field to be too academic,<br />

he turned to art as a way to express himself<br />

and find answers to the burning questions he<br />

had about the world around him. Why is there<br />

such a duality between the cruel, evil and tragic<br />

things that plague our lives and the compassion,<br />

kindness and hope that humanity is so capable<br />

of? Much of his work focuses on investigating<br />

what he considers the “forgotten society” – such<br />

as the homeless, elderly, or ill – but also incorporates<br />

grander scale concepts such as immigration,<br />

the American dream, or the Holocaust.<br />

Strickland’s findings are displayed through<br />

dramatic, large scale paintings and intensely<br />

ALL TOO HUMAN: The Art of Mark Strickland is on<br />

display at The Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art.<br />

realistic sculptures that reveal a message of great<br />

hope amidst the suffering.<br />

All Too Human: The Art of Mark Strickland is<br />

on display now through May 19. An artist talk<br />

will be held in conjunction with the exhibition<br />

on Thursday, April 19, 6-8 p.m.<br />

with many major symphonies throughout the<br />

world and now Classical Mystery Tour is coming<br />

The four musicians in Classical Mystery<br />

Tour look and sound just like The Beatles, but<br />

Classical Mystery Tour is more than just a rock<br />

concert. The show presents more than two dozen<br />

Beatles tunes performed exactly as they were<br />

originally recorded. Hear “Penny Lane” with a<br />

live trumpet section, experience the beauty of<br />

“Yesterday” with an acoustic guitar and string<br />

quartet, enjoy the classical/rock blend on “I Am<br />

the Walrus,” and relish the cascading crescendos<br />

on “A Day in the Life.”<br />

From early Beatles music on through the<br />

solo years, Classical Mystery Tour is the best of<br />

The Beatles like you’ve never heard them before.<br />

You might say it’s the best show the Beatles<br />

never did!<br />

Washington Heights neighborhood<br />

– a place where the coffee from the<br />

corner bodega is light and sweet,<br />

the windows are always open, and<br />

the breeze carries the rhythm of<br />

three generations of music. It’s a<br />

community on the brink of change,<br />

full of hopes, dreams and pressures,<br />

where the biggest struggles can be<br />

deciding which traditions you take<br />

with you, and which ones you leave<br />

behind. See article on page 18.<br />

Lake Arrowhead<br />

Village, A Lovely<br />

Place To Shop<br />

Located a mile high in the heart of the<br />

San Bernardino National Forest, Lake<br />

Arrowhead Village is 90 miles from just<br />

about anywhere in Southern California.<br />

Because Lake Arrowhead Village<br />

offers shopping, dining,<br />

and plenty of year-round<br />

entertainment and activities for all<br />

ages, it is a terrific place to visit.<br />

Lake Arrowhead Village is full of<br />

shopping opportunities whether<br />

you are in the market for designer<br />

clothing, boutique jewelry, factory<br />

outlet shoes, active-wear, children's<br />

apparel, or art and decor.<br />

A main attraction at Lake Arrowhead<br />

Village is dining. From<br />

coffee houses, pizza places, casual<br />

brunches, ice cream and candy, and<br />

popular fast-food outlets, to full<br />

restaurants with bar service to wine<br />

tasting rooms and a craft brewery,<br />

there's something for every palate.<br />

Lake Arrowhead Village offers<br />

dining choices from charming<br />

outdoor cafes to fun places for a<br />

quick bite, a scrumptious dessert,<br />

or relax drinking gourmet coffee<br />

and tea. No matter what type of<br />

dining you're craving, you'll find<br />

plenty of selections to savor at<br />

Lake Arrowhead Village! There's<br />

even a pet-shop where you can<br />

order a yummy treat for your dog<br />

that's made especially for them. So,<br />

don't forget to bring your favorite<br />

four-legged friend as we're a very<br />

pet-friendly destination.<br />

With four distinct seasons,<br />

any time during the year is a great<br />

time to visit. Love the snow? Visit<br />

from December through March.<br />

April and May brings daffodils and<br />

dogwoods to the mountains. From<br />

June through August you'll find<br />

perfect summer weather. Put on<br />

your favorite fall sweater and enjoy<br />

the spectacular fall foliage September<br />

through November.<br />

Lake Arrowhead Village hosts<br />

year-round events which makes it<br />

a perfect place to hang out with<br />

friends and family. Considered<br />

the “downtown” of the Lake Arrowhead<br />

mountain communities,<br />

as well as located in the heart of<br />

Southern California, Lake Arrowhead<br />

Village presents numerous<br />

special events and lively entertainment<br />

throughout the year offering<br />

something for everyone.<br />

Join the fun and visit Lake Arrowhead<br />

Summer Concert Series in Southern<br />

California featuring a Beer<br />

Garden and dynamic bands with<br />

to Country. It’s a great location to<br />

celebrate the holiday events with<br />

activities such as the Village Easter<br />

Egg Hunt, Arrowhead Lake Association’s<br />

annual 4th of July Fireworks<br />

over the lake, Oktoberfest, Halloween<br />

Tree Lighting Ceremony. Check<br />

out their Friday Farmers’ Market,<br />

Antique and Classic Wooden Boat<br />

Show, Cruisin’ the Village Classic<br />

Car Show and the Annual Fireman’s<br />

Bonfire. Lake Arrowhead<br />

Village is home to attractions such<br />

as The Arrowhead Queen Boat<br />

Tour, a 1-hour narrated boat ride<br />

around the lake that offers history,<br />

folklore and up close views of<br />

grand lakefront homes of the rich<br />

and famous. Kids love Lollipop<br />

Park’s Bumper Cars, Carousel, Pirate<br />

Ship Ride, Crazy Mirror Maze,<br />

Candy Store, and the park and<br />

playground by the lake. If you’re a<br />

seasoned professional water skier or<br />

a first-timer, McKenzie Water Ski<br />

School welcomes those looking to<br />

experience a great day on the lake<br />

skiing or wake-boarding.<br />

And while you're visiting the<br />

Highway 189. This quaint jewel of<br />

the mountain also hosts events all<br />

year round from Jensen's Pumpkin<br />

Patch, Lobsterfest, and weekly wine<br />

tastings to the Quilt Guild's Annual<br />

Quilt Walk, and the famous<br />

Blue Jay Christmas Parade!<br />

bakery on the mountain and an extensive<br />

wine/liquor section as well<br />

as a delicious deli counter. Health<br />

Habitat in Blue Jay is your local<br />

herb and vitamin store. Blue Jay<br />

massage therapies. There are several<br />

unique eateries in Blue Jay as well,<br />

no matter what your taste buds<br />

are craving! Get your bike fixed at<br />

Wake & Wheel, shop the unique<br />

clothing boutiques, furniture and<br />

more. And if you fall in love with<br />

the mountains, several experienced<br />

real estate firms are located in both<br />

Lake Arrowhead and Blue Jay<br />

and are ready to tell you all about<br />

mountain living and show you how<br />

you, too, can become a “local”. IER<br />
