Spare The Air Event in Downtown Fullerton

Spare The Air

Get Ready To SPARE THE AIR in Downtown Fullerton, CA

“Don’t Blow It – Good Planets are Hard to Find”…That is the motto for Spare The Air – Orange County Music Festival and Clean Air Campaign scheduled to hit Downtown Fullerton on August 30th, 2008 from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm.  It will be happening right in the heart of The Soco District!

I help out a great local web site (Fullerton Downtown) by calling up the local restaurants and bars to get their entertainment calendars.  A couple of weeks ago, while making my calls, two restaurants The Slide Bar and The Continental wanted me to make mention of the upcoming Spare The Air mega event that is encouraging everyone to get on-board a great cause!

The idea is to bring awareness to keeping our air clean.  The venue is scheduled to have a number of vendor booths, great food from local area restaurants and entertainment.  Slated to play are Lit, John Easdale, The Used, Death by Stereo and other big names that can not be announced yet.

The event is being held at our very own Transportation Center in Downtown Fullerton, so parking should not be a problem since it is all about sparing our air, take the bus or train downtown! 

This Event is sponsored by KROQ 106.7 so tickets are only $10.67! Hurry, I think this will be a sell out and tickets just went on sale on July 26th.

Enter a chance to win a pair of tickets, leave me a comment.  This is what I would like to know:

1.  What do you regularly do to “Spare the Air”?

2.  How will you get there?  (Since this is all about the environment, I think it is obvious you should try to leave your car at home!

I will be picking a winner from the comments on Wednesday, August 27th.  Good luck!

The Fullerton Chamber of Commerce is Here to Serve You!

Fullerton ChamberI have always tried to keep my business in the city I live in.  Years ago when I moved to the City of Fullerton, I called up the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce and had their business directory sent out.  Since then I have used it to find the businesses to handle almost all my needs.  What better way to find a vendor/contractor that is accountable and gets involved in the city they serve?

Not too long ago I recommended to a friend that was starting a new business to get involved in the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce too.  She tried it for one year and then did not re-new saying that he thought it was only about other people trying to sell him their wares and that he never received any business.

Oh to the contrary!  I think that people don’t realize what they are receiving when they join the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce.

You are getting a ready made networking platform and an opportunity to get involved with the movers and shakers; the people that conduct business and care about Fullerton.  As a consumer, you are receiving the referral to a tried and true professional!

I love Chamber functions and go to everyone that I can!  It is not about the lunch hour or cocktail mixers (though they are fun) but a chance to meet the wonderful, generous people in your city and to introduce yourself to them.  It is a good way to talk about what is going on in Fullerton and how you might be able to help one another!

Here is a big Shout Out to the Fullerton Chamber Of Commerce, Theresa, Erin and Leah, you ladies are so amazing!  You give out great information and are so supportive of the businesses in the city.  I appreciate all you do for our wonderful city of Fullerton and the businesses here!

Last week’s Fullerton Chamberwas held in the patio in The SOCO District and was sponsored by the Fullerton Downtown Business Association.  Thank you to: Heroes, Roscoes, All Media, Leslie Kristen Interiors, Frati Gelato, and the others for a great BBQ complete with a full bar and live music.  The Patio area in SOCO was such a great location!  We had so much fun.

So next time you are thinking of looking in the phone book for a graphic artist, plumber, caterer or any other business, try the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce first.  Chances are they will have a great contact for you!  If you are Fullerton business, check out the opportunities that the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce has for you!
