SPRING'S ALMOST SPRUNG...
Monday, March 20 at 5:24pm EDT - It arrives!!!
Do you love Claremont in the Springtime? Me, too!
This cool, quaint SoCal town is charming year 'round, but, there's something extra special when the blooms are blossoming. Those pink tabebuia trees in the Claremont Village are an annual treat for the eyes.
We'll also be treated to annual traditions like the Spring Celebration and Taste of Claremont while April 23 will be an awesome day here. Oodles more events are included in THE VIL CLARE, too. Enjoy.
Greetings & Cheer Springtime is Near!

Top o’ the Mornin’ to Ya!
Leprechauns from the Emerald Isle have arrived for their annual vacation and the Elfies couldn’t be happier. You see, folklore says that Leprechauns are cobblers -- and even though they’re on vacation, they love making shoes. Kerrigan sets up his cobbler’s shoppe here every March. So along with the fun and games to be played all month long, you can hear the tap, tap, tap of the Leprechauns making shoes -- even Eudora O’Unicorn will get a new pair!
Remember... simply close your eyes and imagine you're here.
