Hi Everyone,
So I hope everyone had a nice St Patrick's Day and if you've got any green beer left...DRINK IT!!! Have you gotten used to the time change yet? Not me, I'm loving the longer daylight but getting up in the morning is really challenging now. Well I've got some great stuff coming up for you so let's get right into it.
On March 25th - 27th, that's Fri, Sat, Sun, the Riverside International Automotive Museum presents Legends of Riverside III Racing Film Festival & Legends Gala, featuring 2011 Honoree Parnelli Jones, at 815 Marlborough in Riverside.

On Sat March 26th you should really try and make it out to the Rockabilly Festival at Pitzer College, 1050 N Mills Ave, Claremont from 10am - 5pm. This event features a car exhibition, live music, vendors, art & more. I've attended this one before and you can find pictures on our website from a previous show, this show will really take you back in time.

Now if you are looking for something to do today, please try and make it out to Norco High School for the 4th Annual Norco High School Blue Diamond Brigade Car Show, this show was originally planned to be held in February, but because of rain is was postponed twice so if we have good weather today I think we should show up just to admire this groups persistance. I'm thinking "sunshine thoughts" just for you BDB.
Also Highland Elementary School in Norco will be holding their 15th Annual County Fair & Car Show on May 13th and they still have space available if you would like to show your car at their event you can contact me via email or you can call (909) 596-9146 and I will get you the details.
I'd also like to remind you that the 3rd Annual Sprint Boat Races are being held this weekend at Puddingstone Lake in San Dimas, this is a great way to spend an afternoon out in this wonderful Spring weather.
And now it's the time you've all been waiting for, I'll have my little leprechan friend pull a name out of his pot o' gold for our "Luck O' the Irish" drawing.....and this weeks winner is......Danny Arreola!!!!!!!!!!! CONRATS DANNY, you've just won a $25 gift certificate.
