City residential Reminders – for week of June 10

Fourth of July update
In City Manager Adam Pirrie’s weekly newsletter for June 2, the city announced that a concert featuring The Ravelers at Memorial Park, 840 N Indian Hill Blvd. will be held in place of fireworks during this year’s Fourth of July celebration.

“The city made the difficult decision to cancel the July 4th Fireworks Show due to the drought and watering restrictions,” the city cited. “With the outdoor water restrictions in effect and the adoption of the Water Conservation Ordinance by the City Council limiting water use, the extensive watering necessary to prepare the field for the aerial fireworks show will not be possible.”

While no fireworks will be in the sky, a good time can still be had by all at Memorial Park from 6 to 8 p.m. Food concessions will be offered.

Claremont Village Freedom 5000
Though Fourth of July fireworks are canceled, the Claremont Village Freedom 5000 is still on the cards for July 2.

The Claremont Village Freedom 5000 is a family-friendly event that features a 1K kids fun run, a 5K noncompetitive run, and a 5K walk/competitive race walk “through the scenic tree-lined streets of Claremont.” Attendees may also walk during the races.

A map of the courses is available online at https://racewire.com/register.php?id=12953. The starting point for all races will be Memorial Park, 840 N. Indian Hill Blvd.

The 1K will take place at 7:30 a.m. for children ages 12 and under. All will be awarded a medal of participation after crossing the finish line.

The 5K run then begins at 8:00 a.m. and the 5K walk begins shortly after at 8:05 a.m. Medals are given to the first 3 individuals in each division. Free shoes will also be given to the male and female overall winners.

Pre-registration is recommended to ensure a spot for the race. All pre-registered participants will be given a performance fabric t-shirt also. To register for a race, go to https://racewire.com/register.php?id=12953.

Registration fees for the races are as follows: pre-registration for adults signing up for the 5K run and walk/competitive race walk begins at $35; children for the same race begin at $25. Children participating in the 1K fun run will have to fork over $15 of their parents money.

On the day of the races, on-site registration will jump five dollars for all races. Adults signing up for the 5K run and walk/competitive race walk begin at $40; children partaking in the same race begin at $30. Children participating in the 1K fun run will pay a $20 entrance fee.

Those wanting to chaperone the children’s 1K can also register at the website noted.

Sponsorship forms for the five- and one-K’s were due on April 1, 2022 — no fooling. For sponsorship details or more information about the Claremont Village Freedom 5000, contact Claremont Human Services Department at specialevents@ci.claremont.ca.us or 909-399-5490.

Commercial vehicle parking and storage in residential districts
The city wants to remind residents that Claremont prohibits the parking and storage of commercial vehicles in residential neighborhoods.

“Vehicles weighing 10,000 pounds or more cannot be stored or parked in residential neighborhoods, unless making pick-ups or deliveries, or making repairs for a period of no longer than five hours. Commercial vehicles include tow trucks, semi-cabs, street sweeps, and cement trucks,” the city shared.

For more details, contact the city at (909) 399-5460.

Modified pantry hours from Inland Valley Hope Partners
The Inland Valley Hope Partners’ food pantry, which is hosted in the Joslyn Center Annex each week, will have modified hours starting this month.

In June, the food pantry will operate every Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and will not be open on Thursdays. For more information about the program, visit inlandvalleyhopepartners.org.
