Time to Perform – June By Kaye Osborn
I am writing this on May 15, Bike to Work Day! My husband, Jerry, our good friend Cliff Judd and I rode the 5 miles downtown to the event! It was a perfect day for a ride even though the forecast was to be 100 degrees. Cruising through La Loma Park at 6:30 in the morning is joyous! It feels great to spin my wheels! So, if you are heading to the theater, consider jumping on your bicycle! Just make sure you wear your helmet and follow the guidelines for safe biking.
As we finished collecting t-shirts, freebees and snacks, the three of us headed towards the Thursday Farmer’s Market. I was pleased to meet Peggy Castaneda. She has a new booth there called Modesto Mud. (just like the red dirt shirts from Hawaii) Peggy sells t-shirts with original artwork of many iconic buildings and structures such as the Gallo Center and the Modesto arch. Soon, she will have Graffiti shirts available. Check her out! She is a positive slice of Modesto!
