A local history book fair is coming to Riverside on Oct. 3 (that’s next Sunday), and among the 20 or so authors in attendance will be yours truly. It’ll be my first public event since February 2020 and my first ever in Riverside County. Huzzah! Also, the poet laureate of these United States is coming to Joshua Tree, a surprising figure was a vendor at the LA County Fair in 1936 and a recent Dodger Stadium protest has a local angle. Where can you find all this? Why, in my Sunday column.
