Visit the Night Shift!
05.20.11
Explore the amazing nocturnal world of Carbon Canyon during a hands-on twilight nature walk tonight. From coyotes to opossums, OC Park staff will be unraveling the mysteries of the "night shift" and teaching why they (the animals, not the employees we assume) prefer the cloak of darkness to the brightness of day.
Pre-registration is required for the 7:30 to 9 p.m. event by calling 714.973.3160. The event is free and parking costs $3 per vehicle.
Carbon Canyon Regional Park is located at 4442 Carbon Canyon Road in Brea.

Today and tomorrow at Fleur de Lys - one of our favorite urban shopping spots - will hosting two workshops: one to cook and one to prepare.
Before we get into these awesome events, just remember that 20% of all sales today and tomorrow will be donated to A Harvest of Hope.
Tonight from 3 to 6 p.m. celebrate happy hour with Chef Katherine Lewis. Chef Katherine will be cooking with locally grown produce from Sweredoski Farms. If beautiful, sustainable and fresh crunchy vegetables don't already have your mouth watering, the event will also be featuring cheeses and artisan breads from the great new cheese store that opened in Corona Del Mar, Vin Goat, as well as a wine tasting by Oak Ridge Winery in Lodi.
After you allow the food to digest, come back tomorrow for an emergency preparedness presentation by American Red Cross. Four free sessions will be offered through out the day beginning at 11 a.m., 12 p.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.
Emergency preparedness kits for individuals, families and Rover and Fluffy will be available for purchase.
