Really, it's not that boring
The Local History Cultural Arts Night was one of my favorite city events last year. Hosted by the library and Planning Department, it gathered some of the city's more prominent "old timers" who told tales of Rancho Cucamonga from a simpler era.
But if you're learning about the event for the first time through the city's press release this week, expect to be underwhelmed. On top of a list of highlights for the event is "Speeches by local city of Rancho Cucamonga officials." Note to event organizer: Consider offering strong coffee or Red Bull at the event.
At events like these, speeches are usually the introduction. The event is 7 to 9 p.m. on May 20. I'm guessing if you arrive by 7:15 p.m., you're good.
The rest of the evening will include live music, arts and crafts, vintage car display and a wine talk given by a local vintner. The new local history website "Portal to the Past" will also be unveiled. It's free and it all takes place at the Biane Library.

Might have been a typo. Maybe they meant to list "speeches by local city of Rancho Cucamonga officials" as a "lowlight."
