Fall Festival will return in October

RECREATION

The GRF Recreation Department will host the annual Fall Festival on Saturday, Oct. 14, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in Clubhouse 6. The event will feature an emergency preparedness expo. Minibus service will be available throughout the event.

Stone Soul, which brought down the house at the Amphitheater this season, will perform at the event. It is an eight-piece, horn-blowing, foot-stomping classic soul and Motown tribute band that performs spot-on renditions of memorable soul and Motown hits from Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, James Brown and more.

There will be emergency preparedness supplies to buy, raffles, and an exhibit by the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).

Demonstrations will be given by the SoCal Animal Response Team (SCART), a Southern California based animal disaster response team whose goals are to educate the public in disaster preparedness for their families and pets. Topics include solar power and communication, emergency medication, what to put in grab and go bags, and pet prep in an emergency.

In addition to vendors, there will be displays by LW service clubs, face painting, food trucks and much more. The expo will underscore the fact that in the event of an emergency, LWers will be on their own until professional help can arrive, which may be days or longer, depending on the crisis.

Shuttle service will be available from the Clubhouse 4 parking lot. People are encouraged to park and ride. For more information, contact mayokab@lwsb.com.
