More than 1,500 people throughout the community gather every year at this event prepared by the Community Events Committee of the Foundation of Grand Terrace. This year, it will be held Saturday, June 4 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its regular location, Richard Rollins Community Park. Local service organizations, Colton Joint Unified School District (CJUSD), safe communities and businesses will work together with the city to promote the theme of “Safety & Disaster Preparedness: Ready, Set, Safe!” in support of Healthier GT.

An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment. A basket of fresh produce can represent a week's worth of meals, the results of a successful backyard harvest or an unexpected bargain at the grocery store. Yet without proper storage, even the freshest fruits and vegetables can spoil before a family has an opportunity to use them.

An October announcement highlights how investigative technology and cooperation among law enforcement agencies can help solve crimes affecting Grand Terrace neighborhoods. For residents of Grand Terrace, home is more than an address. It is where families gather, children grow up and neighbors build relationships over many years. When a residential burglary occurs, the effects can extend beyond the property taken or damage caused. A crime inside someone's home can undermine the sense of security that makes a neighborhood feel safe.

The rumble of a commercial truck passing through a city can represent two very different things. For a business awaiting a delivery, it may signal the arrival of essential supplies. For residents living near a busy roadway, it may raise concerns about traffic, noise and safety. In Grand Terrace, finding a reasonable balance between those interests is at the center of an ongoing transportation planning effort.
