This coming Saturday, August 18 from 1-3 p.m. the Culver City Historical Society will be welcoming anthropologist and archeologist Dr. Charles Rozaire at a special meeting where he will present his perspective on local Native Americans and the early history of the land that became Culver City. It’s also interesting that Dr. Rozaire grew up in Culver City and attended Culver City Grammar School, and former classmate Virgie (Tinger) Eskridge has already put in her reservation to attend the meeting, to be held in the Archive & Resource Center (ARC). Museum curator, professor and writer, Dr. Rozaire’s presentation is certain to be fascinating. Seating is limited. Enter behind the Veterans’ Memorial Building, 4117 Overland Avenue. For additional information call 310-253-6941
Busted! As Culver City Rotary Club bulletin editor Don Trepany was driving to the club meeting last week he noticed a certain ” Fast Signs” truck driven by fellow Rotarian Clint Ehlers making a left turn into Tito’s Tacos and not into the Elks parking lot to attend the Rotary Meeting…and he never made it to the meeting. Those tacos are addictive, we guess!
Tomorrow’s a day awayyyyyy…Another opening, another show – and it’s a shortened version of the family-friendly musical “Annie,” opening this Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. and playing Saturday, August 19 at 2:00 p.m. at Grace Lutheran Church, 4427 Overland Ave. “Annie Jr.,” presented by Grace’s Musical Theater Camp/Grace Player Kids will also be presented on Saturday, August 25 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, August 26 at 2:00 p.m., just a short stroll from Fiesta LaBallona at Vet’s Park, so you can include it in your weekend fun! Admission is by a free-will donation.
Getting their leis and hula skirts out of the closet are members of the Culver City Emblem Club #254 – it’s almost Hawaiian Luau time! On Saturday, August 25 Elks Lodge members will don aloha shirts to make it official – cocktail time is 6:00 p.m., dinner at 7:00 p.m. and the dancing (to music by the One Man Band) starts at 8:00 p.m. at the Elks Lodge, 11160 Washington Place. Cost per person is $15.00. Friends and family of Elks and Emblem Club members call (310)397-8923 for reservations.
The phrase “bigger and better than ever” seems inadequate when describing this year’s Fiesta LaBallona, dubbed “Culver City’s Party in the Park.” The rolling jail-on-wheels, dubbed “The Pokey,” has been resurrected by the Culver City Rotary Club, Boy Scouts, and city’s equipment maintenance division, and is back after jailing hundreds of citizens some thirty years ago. Watch out, city officials – if you’re not wearing Fiesta garb, you too may be put behind bars. There will be more than 100 food, crafts, game and information booths, a beer and wine garden, kick-off pancake breakfasts on Saturday, August 25 and Sunday, August 26, carnival rides, music, fitness sessions, Police & Firefighter demonstrations, rhythm workshops, yoga, art, tie dye, martial arts, bicycle skill sessions, wash & repair, and on and on. Applaud Grand Marshalls Dave Sanchez and Cathy Zermeno on Saturday at 11:45 a.m. The crowd over the three-day Fiesta (opening this Friday evening) is expected to top 20,000 – so don’t miss out! Oh, yes – parking? Best bet is in the Sony parking structure, Overland access (between Culver & Washington Blvds.) There will be lots of bike-friendly activities as well, so taking two wheels instead of four is an even better idea.
