"Happy Summer Days" are
the theme this year for the City of Fontana's schedule
of events that are guaranteed to bring smiles to
faces and leave the pocketbooks in tact.
Back by popular demand is the
free weekly summer events beginning with Tuesday "Variety
Nights," Wednesday "Family Fun
Nights," and Thursday night "Concerts
in the Park" featuring Du-Wop, Swing,
Classic Rock, Salsa, 80's Pop, 90's Country Music,
Present, and Gospel at the Art Depot running throughout
July, and August.
Start the weekend off right with a Friday night movie
and a dip in the pool. Come to Heritage Pool for
the Dive-In Movies through August.
Family-friendly features include 101 Dalmatians,
Pinocchio, Little Mermaid, Toy Story, Barnyard, or
Over the Hedge. Admission is $1.50 for children and

Be sure to bring your camera with
you to each of the summer events you attend for
a chance to take home more than memories. The "Snapshot
of Fun Photo Contest" will run through
August 27th. Pictures (submitted on a CD 300 dpi
or higher) of friends or family getting fit and
being active may help you to win a digital camera
or gift card worth $50 or $25. Please mail or drop
off the CD at the Community Services Department
at 9460 Sierra Avenue. Entries will not be returned
and will be used by the City of Fontana for a display
show at the Art Depot beginning in August. Contest
winners will be announced September 25. This is
a great way to engage your children in picture
taking and fitness.
Teens can burn off some excess
energy and make new friends at any number of weekly
excursions to popular venues being offered all
summer by the Fontana Community Services Department.
Trips range from an evening behind the scenes at
the California Speed Way , day
visits at the Santa Monica Pier , Magic
Mountain , Knott's Berry Farm , Hurricane Harbor
, and catching a California
Angels baseball game.
Due to the popularity of the program,
early registration is required at the Jack Bulik
Teen Center. Fees include bus transportation to
and from the location, and will vary based on the
excursion. For further information, please contact
