Food trucks rolling into La Sierra University on Sunday
Just found out about this event…the La Sierra University senior class is hosting an art walk and food truck festival from 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday (April 28).
Everyone is welcome to attend the event, which is a fundraiser for the senior class gift. There’s no mention of an admission price, so I’m thinking it’s a free event.
Since La Sierra is a Seventh-day Adventist campus, the focus is on meat-free trucks. So, no Bacon MANia.
The event will be held at the “statue patio,” which I believe is the same as the sculpture plaza, which is at the end of Yeager Way, the main entrance to the campus. But I could be totally wrong.
La Sierra University is at 4500 Riverwalk Parkway, Riverside.

Celebrate Barbie’s birthday at Farrell’s tomorrow
Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlours are celebrating Barbie’s 54th birthday (I know…she doesn’t look a day over 18!) as only Farrell’s can.
With lots of noise, a special birthday song and a Barbie-inspired Zoo sundae, complete with sparklers and the guest of honor herself perched on top!
The whole event kicks off at 10 a.m. tomorrow (March 9). The first 30 kids 12 and under will share in the Zoo sundae, but all kids in attendance for the birthday party will receive free ice cream.

Inland Empire breweries, food trucks teaming up for Inland Empire Brewing Company anniversary
Riverside’s Inland Empire Brewing Company is celebrating its fourth anniversary Saturday (February 23) in a big, big way.

Riverside Farrell’s opens tomorrow
We’ve been anticipating this for a while…the Riverside Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour opens at 11 a.m. tomorrow (January 31)!
Many of you (myself included) remember the old Riverside Farrell’s at 10098 Magnolia Ave., which was converted years ago into a Coco’s Bakery Restaurant.
The new location, at 3610 Park Sierra Drive, threatens to put that old location to shame.
Formerly a Black Angus Steakhouse, it’s the largest of the chain at 8,700 square feet.
