From kaboom to boo
Dang it.
The city did not get the $10,000 park grant from Kaboom! Rancho Cucamonga was leading in an online contest to win the grant but a community from Louisiana pulled ahead last minute. Rancho Cucamonga and Baton Rouge were neck-in-neck in a contest that asked participants to vote online. At a Louisiana football game in which 60,000 people attended, the Kaboom competition was announced just days before the contest closed. Rancho Cucamonga came in second place.
Kaboom is an organization advocating outdoor play for American children. The city had planned to build a shade structure at Lions Park with $10,000. But hope is not lost. As a runner-up, the city will get $7,500 and may be in the running for a Pepsi grant next year.
