What is a Smudge Pot?
A local history program on the era of the smudge pots will be given Nov. 8 by Gena Sizoo, a
reference staff member of the Upland Public Library.
The program will be from 2 to 3 p.m. at the library, 450 N. Euclid Ave.
Sizoo will discuss the use of smudge pots -- orchard heaters that burned oil to create smoke to protect citrus trees during periods of frost -- and its role in the agricultural economy of the Inland
Empire.
Information on the free program: (909) 931-4205.
