Tickets for the Hawaiian-themed event are $25 and are available at the Rialto Chamber of Commerce, 120 N. Riverside Ave., or at the door.

OK, so lots of folks are eagerly anticipating the Slater’s 50/50 opening up in Victoria Gardens, but that’s not the only new restaurant in town.
Catty-corner from Slater’s, at 8158 Day Creek Blvd., Suite 120, will be Pieology.
What is Pieology? Many are describing it as the “Chipotle of pizzerias.”
Its assembly line ordering is what sets Pieology apart from the other pizza joints out there.
Chow Phở has opened recently in the space previously occupied by El Gran Burrito and Amapola Rico Taco at 1060 Harriman Place.

It appears that Stater Bros. Markets is the latest to roll out the Coca-Cola Freestyle.
We’ve been following the propagation of the high-tech, 100-plus choice soda fountains since first experiencing one back in the summer of 2009.
We’ve seen them deployed at chains, like Boston Market, Five Guys and Burger King, as well as several independent restaurants, like Surfer Joe’s and Zorba’s Burgers.
This is the first time we’ve seen them in a grocery store.
