• Wildomar Birthday Bash 2019

A fun evening at Marna O'Brien park to celebrate the 11th year of Wildomar's incorporation as a city. It was estimated that 500 people cycled in and out of the park between 6pm and 10pm.

There were vendors, exhibitors, our new police motorcycle along with Officer Hansen, a car show, a beer and wine garden and Wildomar's favorite band: Cougrzz Rock.

Once the sun started to set, the crowd grew larger and larger.

This was my first Wildomar birthday event as a council member, and I didn't have the opportunity to take many pictures like I would have in the past. Aloha Photography, run by Wildomartini Richard Deskin, lent me some of his snaps to share here.

Keith Jared of TapSnap was busy helping families make memories.

TapSnap took a great pic of our Wildomar PD. Chief Lujan is in the front.

It was an enjoyable time, and I was glad to meet so many great people from Wildomar. 

I'm also learning that if I've only met a person once or twice, there's a good chance I'll not recognize them if they're wearing sunglasses. Sorry about that... about half a dozen times.☺

Human knowledge has doubled in the last fifty years and will double again in the next twenty. Yet along the way there is much that we have forgotten we might well have done to remember.

Wildomar Rap's knowledge has far more than doubled in the last fifty years, it's probably even tripled. Then again, being 54, I'm not sure if that's saying much.
