Councilwoman in search of Ontario history

| | Comments (0)
As many of you may know, Councilwoman Debra Dorst-Porada is little bit of a history buff. At Tuesday night's council meeting she turned to the public to help her brush up on Ontario history, in particular about Cal Jam.
The first California Jam, which was held in the former Ontario Speedway, was held in March 1974 and then in 1978.
As the 40th anniversary of the event approaches, Dorst-Porada said she is looking for old photos and anyone who might want to share stories.
Dorst-Porada said Fred Nelsen, the former fire chief, told her that everybody who was on duty that day has retired.
If you have any photos or can share a story, call 909- 395-2011.
