Happy 5th Birthday, Eastvale!

By K.P. Sander

Eastvale – Oct. 1 commemorates the 5th Anniversary for the City of Eastvale, and this young municipality has seen not only a wealth of growth in its short period of incorporation, but also a long list of accomplishments.

To celebrate the successes over the last five years, a little get-together is planned.  According to Sharyn Link, Executive Director of the Eastvale Community Foundation, the celebration is going to be something very special.  And not so little.

“We are all so excited – it is going to be an AWESOME event,” said Link.

The Foundation is collaborating with the City of Eastvale, the Corona-Norco Unified School District, and Jurupa Community Services District to host an event to be remembered, and something that the whole city can enjoy.

On Sat., Oct. 3, the festivities will begin at 7:30 a.m., at Eleanor Roosevelt High (7447 Scholar Way), with the 7th Annual 5K/10K & 1 Mile Fun Run.  At noon, a wonderful Community Parade will step off from Schleisman Ave., heading south on Scholar Way.

Once the Parade concludes, the Street Fair will begin where Scholar Way meets Mustang Way.  Throughout the remainder of the day, you can interact with stilt-walkers, jugglers, and mimes, check out local vendors, enjoy food from booths and trucks, and have fun with special activities and traditional fall festival-type partying.

As if that weren’t enough, Rockstars of Tomorrow and other local youth groups will entertain, Artist, Gregory Adamson, will create one of his special pieces of art on stage, and the band Papa Doo Run Run will perform live at a concert.

The night comes to a close with a spectacular laser light show at 9:30 p.m.

Obviously, this is an event not to be missed, as the City of Eastvale pulls out all the stops in celebration of their 5th Anniversary.

See you there!
