I had a great Thanksgiving holiday and “weekend” in Riverside. The family and I had the customary turkey and family hospitality on Thursday. Friday we joined 40,000 other people for the Festival of Lights downtown. Being new to Riverside -- What a great event! Of course there were the lights and the “throwing of the switch” along with the fireworks. But the spirit of the crowd was fantastic and engaged. An added bonus was the BIG screen presentation of the Riverside Ballet in front of the Convention Center along with live dancers.
Next we were off to the Arlington HS playoff game at Ramona Stadium. Great game played well by both teams – culminating in a double overtime finish. Ultimately Norco HS won the game. However, great credit goes to Coach McCarthy and the Arlington Lions as they played extraordinarily well and at some point overtimes have to end – though not as we had hoped.
