| John Lloyd keeps the line of bell ringers moving in an orderly fashion. |
The crowd was addressed by former Mayor and City Councilmember Bob Cashman, who is currently the president of the Wildomar Historical Society... which was serving up slices of watermelon and root beer floats.

| Wildomar's first mayor, Bob Cashman, gave a brief history of the bell. |
• It weighs 640 pounds.
• The bell is made of cast iron
• It had to be lifted about 40 feet in the air to be installed in the belfry. They built a structure next to the tower, and along with a crane, got it up to a platform and then slid it across to a structure that resembles the existing one, that was atop of the old school.
• The bell used to be rung at the beginning of school. It alerted the students to line up for class. The bell was also rung at recess, the end of recess and at the end of the school day.
• There are two time capsules under the Bell to be opened in 2058.

| Local cub scouts listen attentively. |
It's going to be a great time at Marna O'Brien park to be sure. Live music (Cougrzz Rock), TapSnap Photo Booth, face painting, car show, local vendors, carnival games, and more... mark it on your calendar now!

A bad neighbor is a misfortune, as much as a good one is a great blessing.

Where did this happen? You don't say in the post nor do you say where the July 13 festivities will take place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. I added the info about the bell ringing (at Wildomar Elementary) and noticed that the flyer I thought I'd included was missing... all fixed now. :)
