ITEM EXPLANATION :
On Saturday, July 28th, 2007, the Recreation Department hosted the Hot Rods & Cool Treats
event at Pine Avenue Park. There was an estimated attendance of over 700 people.
This year's event, themed Classic California Tun in the Sun," had a variety of activities that
included a giant waterslide, a surf simulator, crafts, bingo, bocce ball, and a band playing the
classic tunes of the Beach Boys. The main goal of the event, besides bringing the community
together, was to connect our youth with our seniors. Intergenerational, along with senior and
youth activities were created so everyone could participate.
The two highlights of the event were the classic car show which brought out 62 beautiful classic
cars, and the ice cream sundae bar. Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream with unlimited
toppings was offered to the public. Our local Rite Aid store has been supporting this event for
the past few years by donating the ice cream.
BINGO game prizes were donated by local businesses.
