Keep your eyes on the ball: Adult League Summer Softball
It's an hour filled with the regular "pring" of aluminum bats on balls, followed by the rapid scraping of feet turning the base paths, the pops of balls in mitts - and a lot of heavy breathing. This is Adult League Summer Softball, and with those bat-prings adding up to total scores in the neighborhood of 30 runs, there is a lot of opportunity to get out of breath. But it's worth it - for ...
Hot Summer Flicks
Summer may not arrive technically until June 21, the longest day of the year, but the summer film season is well underway. Highly anticipated summer films "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," "Star Trek," "Angels and Demons," "Terminator Salvation," "Night at the Museum" and "Up" have already taken the summer box office by storm. Yet, the summer has only just begun. There are many more hot summer flicks to see in the coming months, including "the big one" ...
Terminator Makes it Sweet 16
Resistance fighters in olive drab bark orders at you as Harvesters close in outside. Gunfire sounds and explosions rattle the assembly bunker. The machines are coming for you and your only escape is to board the train. But this will be no scenic ride. The way to freedom passes through high speed drops and twisting turns and you'll push the edge aboard Terminator Salvation: The Ride. Terminator Salvation: The Ride opened to the public ...
Charge into Memorial Day: Holiday fun, close by
For those of you holding down the fort this long Memorial Day weekend and staying in the SCV, there is a whole lot more going on than you might think. Shiiishh. Keep it on the downlow and let the other folks make their exhausting drives.
Sweet music: Strawberry Festival in Oxnard; Topanga Banjo, Fiddle Contest & Folk Festival in Agoura
Strawberry Festival "Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them," lisped Captain Queeg (Humphrey Bogart) during the court martial in "The Caine Mutiny." Sure he was paranoid, but that was some powerful fruit. The crew of Queeg's destroyer couldn't keep away from them. And, if you can't keep away from the delicious little berries, you might head up to Oxnard this weekend. You could get your fill of them, and more, during the ...
Take Me Out to the Ball Game -- JetHawks or Dodgers
There's something about baseball season that speaks of a gentler pace, warm evenings and good times that linger. It speaks of memories and barbecues, dads and kids, buddies and heroes.
Taste of the Town this Sunday (May 3, 2009)
This Sunday all the right flavors come together as the 21st annual Taste of the Town returns to the Mann Biomedical Park in Valencia. Anticipated as one of the SCV's highlight events each year, the festival-like outdoor gathering allows the SCV's top food and beverage purveyors to introduce the public to their tastiest offerings.
Saddle up! The Cowboy Festival rides into town this weekend
It's hard to imagine that on April 25-26 the 16th annual Cowboy Festival will ride into Melody Ranch. It seems like only yesterday that I was sitting under a spreading oak and enjoying a cowboy breakfast of biscuits and gravy.
California Poppy Festival and Ventura ArtWalk April 25-26
California Poppy Festival "Unusual weather we're having, ain't it?" That's what the Cowardly Lion said in the "Wizard of Oz," as he awoke from a poppy-induced sleep to find snow on the poppy field. And, while it may not be "unusual" for this time of year, the weather may be a bit "flexible" during this weekend's California Poppy Festival in Lancaster. Because of that, and other factors, the poppies growing wild in the Antelope Valley's ...
The Renaissance Pleasure Faire returns
I always find it hard to pass up an opportunity to travel back in time to the Renaissance. I know our modern take on Renaissance life is much cleaner and more romantic than the original 16th century model, but it entices and seduces nonetheless.
Descanso Gardens is in bloom
The sun is bright overhead and I breathe deeply the heady perfume of lilacs. I am surrounded by lilacs - lavender lilacs, white lilacs, deep, deep purple lilacs, soft purple lilacs and lilacs with a touch of blue.

Escape to Mountasia Family Fun Center
It used to be that, if you were traveling east or west across the city of Santa Clarita, you had to do it on Soledad Canyon Road and you had to pass by Mountasia Family Fun Center. Your kids would howl, "I want to go to Mountasia," every time you passed and you had no choice but to stop in now and then.
St. Patrick's Day in and out of the Santa Clarita Valley
Sure, and it's a shame, laddie, but that most Irish of holidays, St. Patrick's Day, falls on a scrawny little Tuesday this year. That means if ye don't keep yer wits about ye, ye'll be a-going to work on Wednesday with the green a-showin' in yer face. So boyo, maybe ye should stay a little closer and party a wee bit less this year. St. Patrick will forgive ye. Either way, here's what's coming up shamrocks in the days ahead.
