Night Out Against Crime

Tuesday August 4 is National Night Out Against Crime.  We will be joining the Sheriff's Department who is hosting a block party at the Target Parking lot on North El Camino Real in Encinitas from 2 til 6 pm.  See the flier below:

Parking!

Parking in the Village can be a challenge sometimes....  Over the years we have seen the businesses loose sight of the "mantra".  If you are a business owner or manager, you should be encouraging your employees from parking in the middle of the Village.  They certainly should not be parking in any of the timed spots....  Due to increased complaints about the lack of turnover, CHP Officers are focusing more on parking enforcement.
This usually gets everyone's attention.  But nobody likes a $62 ticket.... so please cooperate and park away form the green zones... be a good neighbor... In the long run abusing the time limits hurts everyone.

4th of July Parade

Our Annual 4th of July Parade is tomorrow.  The parade starts at the RSF School parking lot at La Granada and Avenida De Acacias and goes through the village to end where it starts.   Form up for the parade starts at 12- 12:30.   The parade starts at 1:00 pm.  There is a community BBQ immediately following in the south village park. To make the form  up easier, please keep this in mind:

1. Follow the marshals instructions for form up- they will be in red shirts. Cars go against the curb- don't take up the parking spaces! Make two or three lines if needed.  Do not block El Fuego.
2. Kids have to wear Helmets if they are on bicycles (good idea for skateboards too)
3.  Please, no candy in cars, floats. Throwing candy causes small kids to run into the moving vehicles.
4. Tell your children to stay in formation.  It is dangerous if they run ahead or through the parade.
5.  Antique cars overheat.  If the car has radiator or cooling issues, it may be best not to drive it. 
6. Horses are last.  Only well trained parade horses should participate.  The route is noisy with loud speakers, sirens and lots of people.  If the horses cannot be controlled safely we will ask them to move out of the parade.
7. Have Fun!
