EXCLUSIVE REPORT: Hundreds Gather for MoVal's Second Annual Fun Color Run

On Saturday, November 16th, hundreds of Moreno Valley residents and their friends and families participated in our second annual Fun Color Run. The colorful event was a HUGE hit yet again, with adults, kids, and pets alike getting doused with a rainbow of brightly colored powders.

Attendees and participants celebrated health, fitness, and community as they ran, walked, and danced along the two-mile course!

At the end of the course, all participants gathered for raffle prizes, music, food, and a celebratory toss of brightly colored festival powders!

A Day of Snow and Lights That Glow!

The holidays are around the corner, and that means it’s almost time for our Snow Day and Tree Lighting Ceremony on Saturday, December 7.

Join us from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for our Snow Day as we transform our Civic Center Amphitheater into a beautiful winter wonderland with real snow! 

Register today! The event is $6 for residents and $8 for non-residents. To purchase wristbands online, go to registermoval.org. Once purchased, wristbands can be picked up at the Conference & Recreation Center, 14075 Frederick Street, or at will-call on the day of the event. ASL interpretation provided.

And after the Snow Day festivities, stick around for our annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at 5:45 p.m. in front of City Hall. We'll light up our iconic 30-foot-tall Holiday Tree, and a certain jolly someone from the North Pole will be making a special appearance!

Plus...this year’s Tree Lighting Ceremony will be extra special, because we are also celebrating the City’s 40th anniversary!

Celebrate the season of joy! For more information, visit movalparks.org.

Pet of the Week: Foxy

Our Pet of the Week is Foxy, a five-year-old, female cream and red Australian Cattle Dog mix with two different-colored, beautiful eyes.

Foxy is full of vim and vigor. She's upbeat, highly attentive, and loves to talk to you using her amusing Cattle Dog vocalizations. She's good on a leash and absolutely LOVES to go on walks. She'd make the perfect addition to a family that likes to be active and on the move!

If you would like to make Foxy or any pet from the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter part of your family, please contact the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter at 951.413.3790 or visit www.moval.org/pets.
