Pilgrim Place residents and volun-teers will put a years worth ofwork on display on Friday and

Saturday, November 8 and 9, for the 65thannual Pilgrim Place festival, showcas-ing the fruits of the retirement communi-tys creativity.

In festival tradition, the streets will be lined withhandcrafted art pieces and homemade jams offered byseniors dressed in their Pilgrim finest, bonnets and

breeches included. The Pilgrims dedication to thefairs many activities is part of the reason chairmanBob Wallace retired to Pilgrim Place six years ago.

I love the vitality, Mr. Wallace shared. The peo-ple here do not have a sitting on the shelf mentality.Everyone chooses to be actively involved in somelearning or service experience. We dont have a pro-gram director, because we all fill that role.

From pottery to politics, there is hardly a hobby notcovered in the Pilgrims programming. For this two-day affair, they invite the whole community to sharein those pursuits.

The festivities are made all the more merry by thePilgrims reason for celebrating. Proceeds from thefair directly benefit Pilgrim Places benevolence fund.Last year, an estimated $200,000 was raised to providefinancial support to residents in need.

The festival isnt only about charity. Its alsoabout outreach.

Its a great way for us to interface with the commu-nity, Mr. Wallace said. I enjoy the partnership Pilgrim

Place has with the greater Claremont community.In addition to the usual displays and hands-on activ-

ities, the festival will feature a new booth allowinglocals the chance to get in touch with Claremontsroots. The First People in Claremont setup will featurenative art, dance, jewelry-making and history present-ed by members of the Tongva tribe, who found refuge

in the place under the snowy mountain long beforethe city of Claremont was incorporated in 1907.

We are welcoming our guests on a journey into ourAmerican history, said booth chair Philip McKean.Its a great way for us to learn about the life and cul-ture of the folks who lived here thousands of years

before Pilgrim Place came to be.The First People booth is not the only educational

component to the Pilgrim festival. This years staple

Pilgrim Show, taking place at 1:45 p.m. each day, cel-ebrates the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation

Proclamation and the struggle for womens suffrage.Residents dressed in period costume bring the historylesson to life, along with the knee-tapping tunes of thePilgrim Pickers, the retirement communitys residentfolk music group.

Tradition meets creativity at annual Pilgrim Place festival

13/32


The Pilgrim Show has been the centerpiece of the

yearly festival long before the homemade fudge andanticipated appearance of Santa Claus. School kidscame by the busload to hear about the pilgrims and thefirst Thanksgiving. As the festival has expanded, sohas the annual production, shifting to portray the his-tory of Pilgrim Places active residents. The appeal forschool children has not waned with the years.

We are all educators here [at Pilgrim Place], saidPilgrim Show director Dale Morgan. We loveworking with the kids. They are not the future lead-ers of the planet, they are currently.

Ms. Morgan relishes her time writing and direct-ing the yearly show, in addition to all the familiarofferings of the annual fair. No matter how manytimes she hears the horns play, signifying the open-ing of the gate and the start of the festival, she main-tains the sound is as sweet as ever.

People are waiting to come in and the volunteersare strolling behind the yellow tape. There is suchanticipation, she expressed. I love that moment.

The Pilgrim Place Festival runs Friday andSaturday, November 8 and 9, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.Admission is free. For more information, call 399-5500 or visit www.pilgrimplace.org.

A hauntingly good time: COURIER bloggers seasonal suggestionsThe more the merrier: Oktoberfest at Fairplex

We donned our best beer maid-en dresses, pigtailed our hairand set off for Oktoberfest at

Pomona Fairplex.Situated within the enormous fairgrounds and

located right next to Rob Zombies Great AmericanNightmare was this years Oktoberfest.

Through the main entrance we stepped into a largehall decorated to the brim with German storefronts,

props and, of course, beer stands.Beer drinkers could choose to buy the official

Oktoberfest beer stein or simply get a plastic cup ofany of the tasty German beers available. We quicklygot our very own steinkrug(beer stein) and were off

to explore what else they had in store.The Rheinlanders, a traditional German Oom-Pahband, can be heard every night throughout Oktoberfest,which runs through Sunday. This humongous ensem-

ble led the crowd in favorites such as Schnitzelbank,a classic sing-a-long, and the popular call to battleZicke Zacke Zicke Zacke Hoi Hoi Hoi.

The party isnt solely contained within the hall; out-side is where the fun truly begins. There are games,food and naturally more beer. With more than half ofour beer gone, we decided it was time to fill up onOktoberfest favorites like bratwurst and pretzels.While deciding what to eat, we ran across some ratherunusual food offerings. A food truck was serving upwild boar, venison and alligator sausages.

After filling up on some regular brats (we werentbrave enough to try the alligator), we wondered overto the main stage where the Journey cover band DSBwas playing. The lively group of listeners danced andsang along to classics such as Dont StopBelieving, Wheel in the Sky and Faithfullyalong with many others.

The night seemed to go on and on with fun drink-ing games and the Rheinlanders exceptional rendi-tion of the Chicken Dance. A large conga line initiat-ed by the lead singer took over the entire auditorium,winding the beginning of the line past the back of thelinewe couldnt help but toast our steins with otherdancers as they passed.

By the end of thenight, we were allclose to becomingbierleichen (beercorpses). If youlove drinking beerout of super-funsteins and dancingto Oom-Pah music,then dont miss thisevent. Oktoberfest

at Fairplex will be open Friday, Saturday andSunday, concluding on October 27. Attendees must

be of legal drinking age, but on Sunday those 20years and younger may attend with an adult, ages 12and under receive free admission. General admissionis $5. Visit www.oktoberfestat fairplex.com for moreinformation.

More October festivitiesIt is simply frightening how much there is to do in

October. Luckily for you, we put our heads togetherand compiled a list of this months highlights so youdont miss a thing!

Rob Zombies Great American NightmareThe Fairplex in Pomona will be offering plenty to

do this spooky season. Rob Zombie, the provoca-tive filmmaker and musician, is concluding 15nights of performances by top national and region-al rock artists at the Fairplex with shows by ReelBig Fish, Goldfinger and Rob Zombie himself. RobZombies Great American Nightmare features threehaunted houses based on his horror films promising

Known as the City of Trees andPhDs, Claremont embodies analmost utopian environment that

is a wonderful mix of small-townatmosphere combined with robust aca-demic and cultural attributes.

An exhibit currently on display at the GarnerHouse at Claremonts historic Memorial Park, 16Architects, recognizes a pivotal period that wasbrought to fruition by the seminal original 1950exhibition curated by then architecture departmenthead, Whitney Smith, who mounted a survey ofModern architecture, art and design at the LangGallery at Scripps College. The current 16Architects exhibition documents the intersection ofart and architecture in a community that produced

an incredible output during the mid-20th century. Infact, Claremont could very well be one of the best-hidden secrets in the annuls of modernism.

Claremont was a lively arts community since theearly 1930s, mainly due to the influence of a youngvisionary, Millard Sheets, who was brought in torun a fledgling art department at Scripps College.Inextricably linked were the artists, craftspeople andarchitects that Mr. Sheets brought to teach, and wholater made Claremont home, influencing decades ofartists and makers. Mr. Sheets brought WilliamManker to set up the ceramics department. Albert

Stewart, a prominent sculptor from New York,taught sculpture. Jean Ames began teaching design.

During the war years, Charles Brooks and WhitneySmith taught architecture, and after the war, TedCriley succeeded them.

Art and architecture were allied and we benefitfrom the partnership today. Herman Garner createdan artists colony in the Padua Hills, giving propertyto Albert and Marion (Hoppy) Stewart for theirTheodore Criley Jr.-designed home and studio.Ceramicist Harrison McIntosh had a home and stu-dio designed by Fred McDowell, built next to theRichard Neutra-designed Ninneman House. Otherartists who lived in Padua included Betty Davenport

Ford and Arthur and Jean Ames. Mr. Sheets built ahome there and later designed the Pomona First

Federal Bank in town. Foster Rhodes Jacksondesigned several masterpieces in the foothills aboveClaremont. Painter Karl Benjamin commissionedMr. McDowell to design his home and studio. Buffand Hensman built here, as did Cliff May, knownfor both his Rancho-style homes and the early pre-fabs that he and Chris Choate designed. Both stylesappear in Claremont.

Modern architecture in Claremont was not limitedto only residential projects. The institutional and
