Inland Empire Weekend Fun Guide: 9/21-9/23/12

09.20.12

 

Hi friends & neighbors -

It’s been a couple weeks since our last Weekend Fun Guide and boy have we missed sharing with you!  My weekend almost didn’t feel complete because I wasn’t sharing all the fun events happening across the Inland Empire.  Well, we’re back!  I’ve been working hard on launching the main site – IEShineOn.com – and we’re so close I can almost taste it, but I didn’t want to go another week without a Weekend Fun Guide. :)

There are a lot of goodies for everyone in our Guide this week.  I’m super excited to see the different types of events we have going on in our region.  Plus, with the Fall season officially starting on Saturday and slightly cooler temperatures doesn’t weekend is just screaming out to us, “Hey, let’s have some fun!”

So check out the Guide, make plans and remember IEShineOn sent ya!

Till next time…

p.s. Just a tid bit I want to share, over a year ago I decided to really make IEShineOn The Blog really something special and I thought sharing an event guide would really make IEShineOn stand out.  Makes me smile to look at my last year’s Autumn Guide…hehe…so different now.  Check it out and smile with me. Here you go! :)
