You don’t have to be a horse race fan to know that if you attended the April 27th “Spring Fling” Business Expo that you were networking with our finest business jockeys. John Velazquez, winning jockey riding Always Dreaming in the Kentucky Derby last weekend, had nothing on our local businesses that night. All our vendors, “suited up” with their best as they decorated their tables, put their marketing information out and were ready for the “race” to begin at 5:00 p.m. 46 business vendors were ready and waiting and happy to meet the guests as they arrived, A total of 48 free door prizes were given away that night. As you entered the room, the chatter and laughter were an obvious factor in the high energy of the evening. The microphone was ‘hot” most of the time with business leaders constantly giving away their door prizes.

Talk about a sampling of great food selections for the full night, as this race went “wire to wire.” We are happy to have the following in our race that night:

BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse
Cali Comfort BBQ
Dream Dinners
El Torito
Los Pinos Taco Shop
Luna Grill
Marie Callender’s
Riviera Supper Club
Smart & Final Extra! Warehouse & Market
Sycuan Casino
The Hills Local Pub
The Regal Bar
Valley Farm Market

The added beverage sponsors to our “derby” – Cali Comfort BBQ, The Regal Bar, Sycuan Casino, The Riviera Supper Club, and Valley Farm Market made the race even that more enjoyable.

A special thank you to Sandra Small Photographer who joined in our race and took a huge gallery of photos that can be viewed on our website. Sandy – you are our winning jockey! The winner of our “daily double” was announcer, Chris Brogin. He was the ultimate Master of Ceremonies, guiding us throughout the night. Chris is a local music entertainer who performs with his trio, THE IDEAS Rock & Roll Trio and we thank him for his time and energy!
