CELEBRATE 60 YEARS OF FUN AT THE 

GARDEN GROVE STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL 

The 60th Annual Garden Grove Strawberry 

Festival is a non-profit organization 

dedicated to raising funds for the community 

- over $6.5 million since its inception 

in 1958. This year, fourteen non-profits 

received a combined total of over $150,000. 

The Festival also benefits many non-profit 

groups whose food and game booths collectively 

raise over $100,000 more. The board 

awards scholarships to local school students, 

underwrites parade participation for school 

bands, and treats over 2,000 special needs kids 

to a day of free rides and food. 

Appropriately, this year’s theme is “Celebrating 

60 Years of Fun and Funding Charities.” 

The festival - the second largest city 

festival in the Western United States - will 

be held Memorial Day Weekend Friday, May 

25 through Monday, May 28, at the Village 

Green between Main Street and Euclid Avenue 

in downtown Garden Grove. Last year’s attendance 

was over 300,000. 

Highlights of the Festival include the 

Friday evening official giant strawberry cake 

cutting ceremony at 6pm at the Showmobile 

(Acacia and Main streets) when free cake is 

served to over 2,000 people. 

Saturday morning begins with a 5K 

Strawberry Run followed by an 8:30am VIP 

celebrity breakfast at the Garden Grove Community 

Center. 

Next is a parade at 10am with film and 

TV celebrities, floats, bands, equestrians, and 

characters. 

All four festival days include 35 carnival 

rides, five contests, over 200 food and sales 

booths, games, music, and live entertainment 

in the amphitheater and Showmobile. Contests

Third Annual ‘Doors Open 

Riverside’ Returns May 10th 

ENJOY TOURS OF HISTORIC PRIVATE AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS IN DOWNTOWN RIVERSIDE 

Doors Open is an event that provides 

an opportunity to discover hidden 

architectural gems in buildings that are 

not usually open to the public. The first Doors 

Open Day took place in France in 1984 and 

the concept has spread to other places in Europe, 

North America, Australia, and elsewhere 

including the United States. 

The third Annual Doors Open Riverside 

takes place on Thursday, May 10th from 6pm 

to 9pm, and from 5pm to 8pm for certain 

locations that need more daylight. The only 

event of its type in California and, in fact, 

west of Colorado, this free event provides 

docent-led tours of historic buildings that 

seldom have their “doors open”. 

Locations include not only private buildings, 

but churches, museums, and Riverside’s 

historic downtown cemetery. The last two 

events attracted over 1,000 people each. 

Just a few of the museums and churches 

that will have their “Doors Open” for the 2018 

event are the Mission Inn Museum, the Riverside 

Art Museum, the Universalist Unitarian 

Church, and Eden Lutheran Church. New locations 

on the tour include Thee Olde Chapel, 

the former church on 14th that has been lovingly 

restored as a wedding chapel, White Park, 

and the Santa Fe Depot. 

The full list of participating buildings will be 

available at www.DoorsOpenRiverside.com. 

The event is a partnership between the City of 

Riverside, the Mission Inn Foundation, the Riverside 

Arts Council, the Old Riverside Foundation, 

and the Riverside Downtown Partnership. 

Docents from the Mission Inn Museum will 

provide information on the history and special 

features of these buildings during the tours. Tours 

are approximately every 20 minutes with groups 

of no more than 20 in most cases, allowing time 

for questions. Tour maps will be available at the 

information tables located in front of the Main 

Library on Mission Inn Avenue, and next to the 

Mission Inn Museum on Main. IER

Horse Town Brew n’ Que 

Norco, California sets the stage for the 

ultimate showdown as celebrity chefs 

Michael Character and Phillip Dell faceoff, 

head to head, in front of 60 professional 

barbeque teams at the 4rd Annual Horse Town 

Brew n’ Que Festival, June 2. 

Teams throughout California, Arizona,

prizes, and most importantly, bragging rights. 

The festival, sanctioned by the Kansas City 

Barbecue Society (KCBS) and the California 

Barbeque Association (CBBQA), hosts one of 

the largest gatherings of professional barbeque 

teams on the West coast. It is highlighted by 

live entertainment, a certified barbeque judge’s 

class, and beer sampling from award winning 

craft brewers. 

Phillip Dell 

PHILLIP DELL 

Phillip Dell is an award winning chef whose 

cooking skills range from sauces to soufflés. 

He has been seen on the Food Network series 

Cutthroat Kitchen and Chopped, winning the 

Championship on the latter. 

In 2017, his champion barbeque team, 

Swine Thyme, qualified for the American 

Royal and the Jack Daniels Invitational. Dell is 

the proprietor of four entrepreneurial ventures: 

On The Sweet Side, Inc., a dessert and pastry 

business; Wizard’s Gourmet, a barbecue catering 

service and vendor of specialty seasonings; 

Sin City Chefs Inc., a private chef and onsite 

catering service specializing in recipe transformation 

and healthy eating; and CPD Enterprises, 

LLC, specializing in culinary consulting. 

Dell has been part of the opening team of 

five restaurants including the Wynn Las Vegas 

Casino in Las Vegas and has created meals for 

celebrities such as Tony Curtis, Ernest Borgnine, 

Dallas Holms, and others. 

Winner of the 2016 National Educator of 

Excellence by the National Restaurant Association 

Educational Foundation and a natural 

body builder, Dell is a dedicated member of 

the barbeque community. 

Dell says, “I am really looking forward to 

coming to California to show Michael what 

I’ve got. “I am ready to put Michael’s Character 

... on hold.” 

MICHAEL CHARACTER 

Michael Character was born in Seattle, 

Washington and moved with his family to 

Georgia when he was seven years old. Like 

many BBQ competitors, Character learned the

BBQ by Ardie A. Davis and Chef Paul Kirk. 

He was a pivotal figure on Season 1 of BBQ Pit 

Wars and often created the most down home 

dialogue on television’s BBQ Pitmasters. 

A crowd favorite, he is known for his 

outrageous smack talk and his infectious 

personality. While Michael did not take top 

honors on BBQ Pit Wars or BBQ Pitmasters, 

he maintained the shows needed balance. 

Character maintains a confidence and determination 

that is ready to take on any situation. 

He is not afraid of any challenge and 

Michael Character

was ready to take down what he calls, 

Myron Mixon’s “Evil Empire.” 

Character sees the Horse Town Brew 

n’ Que Festival as the perfect arena to 

take down Phil Dell and let California 

patrons taste his barbeque. Character 

said, “I am going to crush the Dell out 

of Phil.”

21st Annual 

Memorial Day Air 

Fair and Flower Drop 

Ceremony at Palm Springs Air Museum 

One of the most unusual and touching 

Memorial Day events takes place in 

Riverside County, at the Palm Springs 

Air Museum, just minutes off the 10 Freeway 

at Gene Autry Trail in Palm Springs. The 

86,000 square foot museum houses over 59 

vintage flying and static aircraft displays, 

spread over four hangars. Each hangar is 

themed, and contains aircraft and accompanying 

exhibits covering the Pacific and European 

Theatres of Operation during World 

War II, the B-17 Hangar, and the one year 

old Gen. Miles Korea and Vietnam hangar. 

Every Memorial Day, thousands of 

residents and visitors gather at the Palm 

Springs Air Museum for the annual 

Memorial Day Flower Drop and Air Fair. This 

year’s 1pm ceremony honors 102-year-old B-17 

gunner Mike Kovich. After the brief ceremony, 

a B-25 Mitchell Bomber loaded with 3,000 red 

and white carnations will be pulled out of the 

European hangar, onto the tarmac behind the 

Museum, engines turned over, and visitors watch 

as the plane departs the tarmac and taxis to the 

Palm Springs International Airport for take-off. 

MEMORIAL DAY AIR FAIR AND FLOWER DROP: Planes 

make a “missing man” formation before the B-25 drops carnations. 

The B-25 is followed by three other 

airplanes, which will make the Missing Man 

formation. After two passes over the Museum, 

one of the planes leaves the formation, hence the 

name “missing man”. This will be followed by 

the dropping of the carnations over the tarmac. 

Visitors are encouraged to take home a 

carnation as a souvenir. The carnations are in 

honor of all the men and women who gave up 

their lives to preserve our liberties and way of 

life. The white carnations are in honor of 

those who died in World War I and II, Korea, 

and Vietnam. The red carnations are 

in honor of those who died during more 

recent conflicts including the Persian Gulf, 

Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan. This 

year’s Memorial Day Ceremony includes 

flight exhibitions and rides for sale on 

the B-17 Sentimental Journey. The other 

aircraft scheduled to fly are the C-47, P-51 

Mustang, P-63 King Cobra, and the T-28 

The Museum charges admission, and 

Memorial Day will be full of special flight 

exhibitions throughout the day, live music, 

food vendors, and children’s activities. 

Flight exhibitions start when the doors 

open at 10am. 

Face painting, balloon formations, and Harpo 

the Clown will be on hand. The In ‘n Out 

Burger Trailer will be on the tarmac selling food, 

as well as other food vendors, and the Freedom 

Fighters’ Café inside the B-17 Hangar.

Watch For The 

Memorial Day 

Motorcycle Parade 

THE 19TH ANNUAL 

WEST COAST THUNDER 

MEMORIAL DAY BIKE RUN 

It’s already time to dust off your lawn chairs and unfold your flags to join 

in on the streets of Riverside to watch the annual Memorial Day Monday 

motorcycle parade. May 28 marks the 19th West Coast Thunder event. 

PARADE ROUTE 

The parade route will begin exactly the same as past years, riding 

down Indiana Avenue northeast towards Arlington Avenue, turning right 

and going to Alessandro Blvd., turning right, then turning right once 

again onto Trautwein Road. The parade will then turn left onto Van 

Buren Blvd. heading east towards the Riverside National Cemetery, who 

is the benefactor of this amazing event. 

Those riders who want to pay their respects at the Cemetery may enter 

by turning right on Village West before they reach the main entrance 

and entering the cemetery from that side street. Motorcycles are asked to 

please not use the main entrance of the cemetery due to the large volume 

of visitors attending the City of Riverside’s Memorial Day Ceremony and 

people visiting the grave sites of their loved ones. 

At this point, the parade route changes from past years. The motorcycle 

parade will ride past the main entrance of the Cemetery and merge 

onto 215 South. They will continue going on South 215 until they reach 

Exit 22 and they will turn left onto the Ramona Expressway heading 

towards the Perris Fairgrounds, turning left once again, onto Lake Perris 

Drive. The new venue, Southern California Fair & Event Center, is 

located at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in Perris. 

NEW PARADE ROUTE FOR WEST COAST THUNDER 

PERRIS FAIRGROUNDS 

Perris Fairgrounds will be a much larger venue and there will be more 

things going on that day and all weekend to entice families and friends, 

as well as motorcycle enthusiasts. There will be a family-friendly carnival 

going on all weekend, a vintage car show, more vendors, and motorcycle 

stunt performers in addition to the closing tribute concert on Memorial 

Day Monday, May 28th. 

The main stage will be set right in the center of Perris Auto Speedway 

for Country music artists Granger Smith, aka Earl Dibbles, Jr., who will 

be the headliner and Tyler Rich will open the show beginning around 

noon. 

West Coast Thunder’s Color Guard will be performing their emotional 

Ultimate Sacrifice Ceremony between shows. 

And that’s not all ….. there will be a host of options for all discerning 

tastes in food and beverage concessions. On the Midway Stage, just to the 

right of the concessions and vendors, there will be more bands playing 

including WCT Singer Michael Austin, and two local favorite classic rock 

cover bands, Retroblast, and Southbound and Company. 

Bring your family and make this a holiday to remember and a tradition 

in years to come. 

TICKETS 

Concert tickets are available online at www.westcoastthunder.com for

Theater & The Arts 

Frederick The Poet 

Mouse Comes To Rancho 

Cucamonga In May! 

MainStreet Theatre Company Produces West Coast Premiere Opening on May 5. 

What does it mean to be part of a community? What does 

it take to make it through the darkest days? These are 

some of the questions that will be answered with joyful 

exhuberance when the beloved 1968 Caldecott Honor Book comes 

to life on stage! Frederick, based on Leo Lionni’s book about a poet 

mouse who stores up something special for the long winter, opens 

at Lewis Family Playhouse on May 5th and runs through May 

20th. 

With book by Suzanne Maynard Miller, and music and lyrics 

by Sarah Durkee and Paul Jacobs, MainStreet Theatre Company is 

proud to produce the musical’s West Coast Premiere. The production 

is directed by Robert Castro, with musical direction by Janice 

Rodgers Wainwright, and choreography by Tom Tsai. 

This simple but poignant story about a community of mice 

getting ready for winter combines fabulous blue-grass music with a 

great message about the importance of the arts to a society’s survival. 

All the mice are busy storing food to get them through the long 

winter, and are frustrated with Frederick, who tries hard to explain 

to his more literal-minded friends that they’ll need the items that 

he’s collecting, not just the nuts and berries the rest of them are 

busily gathering. Throughout the course of the story, the mice, and 

the audience, learn that everyone’s contribution is important, and 

when the mice are running out of food, it’s Frederick’s collection of 

sights, smells, and colors that get them through the darkest days. 

MainStreet’s production includes Ricky Abilez as Frederick, 

with Kevin Trinio Perdido, Brandon Ruiter, Marnina Schon, and 

Rachel Sorsa as the rest of the mouse commune. In addition to the 

cast, there’ll be a 4-piece live band playing the infectious bluegrass 

score, led by MainStreet regular “mice-tra,” Janice Rodgers 

Wainwright. 

Director Robert Castro, whose productions of theatre and opera 

have been seen across the U.S and Internationally, is known for his 

use of stunning visual images and imaginative theatrical storytelling. 

His previous work for MainStreet includes the Ovation nominated 

A Wrinkle in Time, as well as Aesop in Rancho Cucamonga, 

Aladdin’s Luck, Treasure Island, Ferdinand the Bull, and Dreams of 

Anne Frank. 

Choreographer Tom Tsai is a dance and video artist with a 

unique voice, which marries different modern forms. The team 

is excited to marry the very American Southern Blue-Grass type 

music with a modern, almost hip-hop movement style, which they 

hope the kids in the audience will recognize and relate to. 

The deceptively simple design takes Lionni’s book as inspiration, 

and embraces not only his use of white space, but also the way 

the objects are made of pieces of torn paper collage. The creative 

team, many of whom are frequent collaborators at MainStreet, 

includes Victoria Petrovich (Scenic Design), Raquel Barreto 

(Costume Design), Brian Gale (Lighting Design), John Zalewski 

(Sound Design), and Akeime Mitterlehner (Prop Design). Mary K. 

Klinger is Production Stage Manager. 

Frederick runs May 5 – 20, with performances on Saturdays 

at 1pm and 4pm (no 1pm performance May 5th) and Sundays at 

1pm (no performance May 6th). Tickets are priced at $18 for Gen-

‘What kind of musical is this?’ 

The Tony Award-winning, satirical comedy 

‘Urinetown’ closes out CSUSB’s 2017-2018 Season 

“GOSH, DADDY, I NEVER REALIZED LARGE, 

MONOPOLIZING CORPORATIONS COULD BE SUCH 

A FORCE FOR GOOD IN THE WORLD!” – HOPE 

On June 1, The Ellen Weisser Endowed Theatre Showcase flushes

musical, Urinetown, music and lyrics by Mark Hollmann, book

have been banned. The private corporation Urine Good Company, or 

UGC, controls water consumption by charging the masses for use of 

public facilities, and those who cause trouble are sent to Urinetown 

never to be seen again. But when the price to pee perpetually increases, 

the people rebel! 

With a total of eight performances, Urinetown plays June 1, 2, 7, 8 and 

9 at 8pm, with matinee performances June 3, 9, and 10 at 2pm. 

Tickets can be purchased from the CSUSB Theatre Arts Box Office,

Journey into the Wild West in this classic story of good versus evil, law versus the gun, 

and man versus Liberty Valance. When Ransome Foster traveled west from New York 

in search of a new life, he never expected to arrive on the dusty streets of Twotrees, 

beaten and half dead. He finds his purpose in this broken land but is it enough to save 

him from the vicious outlaw who wants him dead?

Summer Heat 

Beat The Heat For Cheap With 

Water Slide Season Passes 

Escape the sweltering heat in

day of play in the cool spray 

on the double water slide at Alpine 

Slide in nearby Big Bear Lake. 

Enjoy cooler temperatures in

flumes of cascading water, which

Water Slide rides are inexpensive

10 rides for $10, or two bucks 

each. Season passes are $69 for 

an anytime pass, and $49 for a 

Sunday-Friday pass (excluding 

July 4th). A great way to beat

grass or take a seat on one of two 

outdoor sundecks and soak up rays 

while the kids play. 

Alpine Slide is famous for its 

Olympic-style bobsleds which are 

in season all year long. Snow is 

never needed since the sleds have 

Teflon runners and ball-bearing 

wheels, and the two quarter-mile 

long tracks with banked turns are 

cement. 

Riders control their own 

speed with the brake, and unlike 

any amusement park ride, each 

trip down is a completely unique 

and interactive experience. Lean 

into each turn and go into a 

tuck through straightaways to 

experience what it’s like to be an 

Olympic bobsledder, or use the 

brake to go slow and soak in views 

of the lake and mountains. 

Alpine Slide is also home 

to Putt ‘N Around go-karts and 

18-hole miniature golf course, 

Alpine Slide 

filled with water hazards, breaking 

greens and “sand traps.” Go-karts 

feature 5.5 horsepower Honda 

motors and safety features like 

professional three-point restraint 

systems similar to those found in 

race cars, rack and pinion steering, 

hydraulic disk brakes, and padded 

steering wheels. 

Take a break from the action

priced snacks including handscooped

ARLINGTON BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP’S ANNUAL CHILI 

COOK-OFF & CAR/CYCLE SHOW IS COMING MEMORIAL DAY 

WEEKEND IN RIVERSIDE’S ARLINGTON BUSINESS DISTRICT 

Arlington Business Partnership’s 

Annual Chili 

Cook-Off & Car/Cycle 

Show returns for its 16th 

year on Saturday, May 26, 

and will offer Inland Empire 

residents a free, family friendly event with 

tons of activities for children and adults. 

The annual event spans Magnolia Avenue 

between Van Buren Boulevard and Jackson 

Street, and will include two stages of live 

music, classic cars, street vendors, a Kid’s 

Zone with petting zoo, a beer garden and, of 

course, chili. 

Over the years, word of mouth has 

helped the event grow into a popular attraction. 

In 2017, The Press Enterprise’s annual 

Best of the Inland Empire named the Chili 

Cook-Off as a Hometown Favorite – Best 

Community Event. 

“In 2003, the founding members of the 

Arlington Business Partnership started the 

chili cook-off with about 1,500 people in 

attendance and last year there was estimated 

to be 20,000 on the street,” said Arlington 

Business Partnership Executive Director 

Andrew Guerra. 

The chili cook-off will consist of two 

competitions. The first chili cook-off 

competition is expected to have professional 

cooks from neighboring states to compete in

a cook-off which is sanctioned 

by the International 

Chili Society (ICS) and the 

winner will be crowned the 

California State Champion. 

The second competition will 

include the local community and restaurant 

cooks. Each competitor will be cooking on 

the street and follow strict guidelines. 

Because the event is so popular, Arlington 

Business Partnership is bringing its 

own chili because the chili tends to run low 

during the event. 

Along with the chili cook-off competition, 

there will be a salsa competition. Contestants 

will be submitting one pint of salsa 

for judging. The salsa fresca, pico de gallo, 

blended from fresh or canned ingredients, or 

made from dried peppers. The salsa may be 

red or green. 

The Arlington Business Partnership is actively 

seeking sponsors, chili cooks, vendors

management for Koroneburg Renaissance 

Festival, featuring new growth and entertainment 

as the most interactive Renaissance 

experience in the Corona, Eastvale, and

gem. 

As one of the only permanently built Renaissance 

festivals in Southern California since 

1998, the Koroneburg Renaissance Festival 

features a unique and busy historical village 

full of shops and a grand tourney field. Enjoy 

shopping for handmade goods, listening to folk

Histories at these locations include the home 

of a long-time Riverside Mayor, a New York 

businessman who retired in Riverside and had 

the pleasure of President Theodore Roosevelt as 

a visitor to his home, and an immigrant from 

Europe who embraced the land of opportunity, 

settled in Riverside and became a long-time 

businessman here. 

The tour will also include the Peter J. Weber 

house – headquarters for Old Riverside Foundation 

– open for touring. As in the past, Weber’s 

son, Peter N. Weber, will be on hand explaining 

his days living there and answering questions. 

Outside the Weber House will again be the 

Restoration Faire & Vintage Mercantile, featuring 

craftsmen who specialize in vintage-sensitive 

wrought iron, renovation consultation, tile, 

plaster work, and roofing. Vendors will offer antiques, 

linens, jewelry, décor, and clay creations

so we anticipate that along with our returning 

vendors, we’ll have a few new ones to pique your 

interest. Oh, and don’t forget the Raffle Baskets
