T

he Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival is a staple of the Coachella Valley, and is scheduled to return for February 17 through 26 at the Riverside County Fairgrounds in Indio. The Date Festival continues the legacy of decades-old desert traditions while celebrating history and community, and of course, providing fun and excitement for everyone.

Entries for local recipes, crafts, and artwork will now be on display and awarded prizes. Livestock will also be welcome for Blue Ribbon categories. Agriculture prizes will be awarded for citrus fruits, dates, and vegetables, crafts and hobbies will be represented by clothing, textiles, woodcarving, and horticulture.

The 2023 Grandstand Entertainment line-up will present several showstopping spectacles and performances that the Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival is known for, such as not one but TWO nights of Monster Trucks on February 21 and 22, musicians, a Freestyle Moto X Team, sea lion shows, corn hole tournaments, and more.

General admission is priced at $10 and good for one entry to the 2023 Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival.

“Fairgrounds are unique because they are the places where we celebrate community.

There’s such a variety of talents in this area that people can see on display at the fair. We also get to celebrate the agricultural significance of the date palms in the Coachella Valley—allowing attendees to interact with the people who put those dates in stores and in their homes,” shared Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival organizer, Chris Pickering.

A seasonal pass costs 30 dollars and is good for one entry all 10 days of the 2023 Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival, presented by Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. This pass is only available in advance and not available once the event begins on February 17. Carnival wristbands costs $30 are good for any one day of the 2023 Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival.

For more information including fair admission prices, advanced tickets, and hours of operation, please visit datefest.org

Fascinating facts about Dates • The word ‘date’ comes from the Greek word daktylos, meaning finger, because a date looks like the tip of a finger.

• Because the tree and its fruit have so many uses — from food to building materials — the date palm is known as the ‘tree of life’ in the Middle East, and it’s the national symbol of Saudi Arabia.

• Date palm trees need at least 100 days of 100ºF heat and plenty of water to produce the best quality fruit.

• There are more than 200 varieties of dates. Majdool, large and caramel-like, is the hardest to grow, and therefore one of the most expensive to buy.

• In the United States, 95% of the medjool dates are grown in the Coachella Valley.

• While they are high in sugar (about 93 grams per cup), many varieties have a low glycaemic index (GI), due to the fact that its fruit sugar is high in dietary fibre.

Modernism Week makes a comeback

By Crystal Harrell This month, the annual Modernism Week festival returns in full force as an 11-day event running from February 16 to 26—offering more than 350 programs that highlight midcentury modern architecture, art, interior and landscape design, and vintage culture in the Palm Springs area. There will also be exclusive tours of stunning architecture and opportunities for design professionals to earn learning unit credits.

Some of the newly added events include an Exclusive Tour of the Kellogg Doolittle House in Joshua Tree on February 20— which goes from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Kellogg Doolittle High Desert House is one of the most intriguing and exclusive residential properties to ever be built in Southern California. This private residence, designed

by Ken Kellogg, is admired all over the world for its awe-inspiring organic details but is rarely open to guests. This tour is one of the first groups to experience the home’s interior rooms and tour it with the homeowner and the craftsman who has worked on it for more than 25 years. The tour is limited to 20 guests and is exclusive to Modernism Week 2023.

Another special tour offered will be the House of Tomorrow Home Tour from February 16 to 21. Exclusive to Modernism Week, tours will be available for the newly renovated Alexander Estate, known as the House of

Tomorrow and popularly as the Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway where Elvis and Priscilla Presley honeymooned in 1967.

Premier Double Decker Architectural Bus Tours will be available from February 16 to February 26. Modernism Week’s signature bus tour provides guests with an overview of the most significant midcentury architectural treasures of Palm Springs.

There is also the Encore: Sustainable Homes Tour on February 25, where guests can tour some of the High Desert’s most sustainable homes. Learn about homes that not only generate their own power, but are doing it in style.

Tickets may be purchased at modernismweek.com and a portion of ticket proceeds benefit Modernism Week (a non-profit organization) and other local preservation, neighborhood, and community groups.

ANSWER ON PAGE 6

How many food items in your freezer, refrigerator or kitchen cabinet are on recall lists?

I spotted a food recall alert on the news, but I only heard part of the announcement. On to the internet I went, looking for the information. And sure enough, for the first time ever, I actually had a recalled food item. It was a bit unnerving to realize that I hadn’t been reading all the recall alerts I get in my email inbox.

While looking for more sites that provide alerts, I came across one I hadn’t known about: FoodManufacturing.com. Just in the past few weeks, they’ve put out alerts for a certain soup because of an error on the label, several brands of Vienna sausages, hot chocolate K-cups (it might contain peanut products), a pot roast meal, sprouts, frozen chicken entrees, popcorn, frozen manicotti, diced beef ... and more.

To look at their list, go to the site and click on the “Recalls/Alerts” tab.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service arm of the Department of Agriculture issues alerts as well at www. fsis.usda.gov/recalls.

Note the advanced search feature on the left side of the screen where you can filter by cause, risk level, states and more.

Food Safety (www.foodsafety.gov) provides information on the safe handling and storage of food.

Recalls.gov is another good site for recall notices.

Click on the “Food” tab to see your online choices.

And what should I do with that recalled product I found in my freezer? I’m going to take it back to the store for a refund, of course.

On a sad note, did you see the Consumer Reports research on the amount of lead and cadmium in our favorite dark chocolate bars?

Go to ConsumerReports.org and put “Lead and Cadmium Could Be in Your Dark Chocolate” in the search box.

‘Mid-Century Moderns’ returns to Palm Springs “Mid-Century Moderns,” the ‘60s jukebox musical that has won over Palm Springs audiences announced an expanded performance schedule at Oscar’s Palm Springs during Modernism Week.

The musical will now have five performances during Modernism Week: February 16, 17, 22, 23, 24.

“Mid-Century Moderns” tells the delightful tale of a plucky Wisconsin widow who transforms from frump to fabulous when she finds herself at the center of modernity in Palm Springs!

The sensational pop hits of ‘66 come to life as audiences journey back to 1966 Palm Springs, along with the music of Tom Jones, Petula Clark, Lesley Gore, Frank and Nancy Sinatra, The Association, The Monkees and many more.

“Mid-Century Moderns” features Christine Tringali Nunes, James Owens, Gary Powers, Carlos Garcia, and Joseph Portoles and welcomes back Dana Adkins to recreate her Desert Theatre League award-winning dual role as Mrs. Honeyhouse and Doris.

Adkins last year received DTL’s prestigious Best Supporting Actress in a Musical award for the original production of “Mid-Century Moderns.” In addition, Tringali Nunes, Owens, Powers and Garcia have all received local theatre award nominations for their performances in the show.

Tickets for the upcoming shows are available at oscarspalmsprings.com. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. with dinner seating beginning at 5:30 p.m. Oscar’s Palm Springs is located at 125 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs.

Mason put his hand up and interrupted him saying, ‘Dad, did the pepperoni pizzas come yet?’ I had to walk out of the room. I didn’t know if I should get mad or laugh.”

The Grubhub Kid Remember that old TV show, “Kids Say The Darndest Things?”

Take the Grubhub Kid in Chesterfield Township, MI, better known as six-yearold Mason Stonehouse. His dad, Keith, let him play with his cell phone one evening unaware that he had left his Grubhub app open. All of a sudden a stream of delivery drivers were knocking at the door with arrays of fast food orders-- some $1,000 worth of shrimp dishes, pita wraps, French fries and lots and lots of ice cream and pizzas.

According to CNN, it took Keith a while but he finally figured it out and confronted his son. “I was trying to explain to him that this wasn’t good,” he said. But, he added,

A dream come true Nine-year-old Molly Sampson of Calvert County, MD dreams of becoming a paleontologist when she grows up; she wants to study the history of life on Earth. Meantime, she likes to search the local beaches for sharks’ teeth and recently came across a rather large tooth that belonged to the biggest shark that ever lived -- a giant 15 millionyear-old shark known as a Megalodon. She took it to the Calvert Marine Museum on Solomon’s Island where the paleontology department confirmed her find.
