Hello Readers,
It is another beautiful day here in Sun City Palm Desert. I am seeing a steady stream of golf carts going down the main street as the Ladies 18 Golf Club has just finished their round and are heading over to PaPa Dan's for lunch and game review. I know they will all be talking about the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies and their new show celebrating the music, dance and comedy of the 1940's, 50s and 60s with renowned guest stars, and a cast of 56 to 86 years young. If you have never seen the Follies, put it on your 'must do' list. People travel from far and wide to see this entertaining extravaganza. The show is held at the historic Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs. For tickets call 760-327-0225.
Outdoor activities rule here during season. Hiking and biking and walking trails run through-out the Valley and up into Joshua National Park. Joshua National Park is just 1/2 hour from the Valley floor, but you would think you were in another world. The landscapes vary as you drive through the Park, from Joshua Tree gardens, to wildflowers in spring, to rocks and bolders that make you feel like you are on another planet. This is a world renown haven for rock climbers. Camping is also permitted in the Park.
Speaking of outdoor activities I want to remind you of all the arts and crafts shows and certified farmers markets that are abundant through-out season. Every week-end at the College-of-the-Desert (COD) there is a huge outdoor festival with art, clothing, jewelry, hats and food. You can easily spend 3 hours wandering up and down the isles viewing all the wonderful goodies. Music too!
The Palm Springs Villagefest is every Thursday evening from 6-10pm along Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. This is somewhat similar to the COD event but differs because it is at night and all the stores and restaurants along Palm Canyon are open for the event. Go early for a good parking spot.
The certified farmers markets are in Palm Springs on Saturday (8-12) at the Palm Springs Mall, in Old Town LaQuinta on Sundays from 8 to 12:30, and in Palm Desert at the Palm Desert Visitors Center on Wednesdays from 8-12:30. The Palm Desert Visitors Center is located at 72567 Hwy 111 and is a worth while stop anytime.
