SoLunita dances into la cultura

Our cover story this month is on SoLunita, a recently formed children's folklorico group. These niños y niñas are helping to keep the art of folklorico dancing alive. Thanks to the Fonseca family — who also started SoLuna, the very successful adult folklorico group here in Bakersfield — it looks like la cultura will be safe and sound for many generations to come. Don't miss this colorful feature!

East High hopelessly devoted to 'Grease'

East Bakersfield High School just completed its presentation of the musical, "Grease." It was very well received by packed audiences, who seemed to crave the hometown entertainment of these talented, young actors. One of those actors, Zachary Gonzalez (who played Eugene, the resident "geek" at Rydell High) writes about how the show provided much-needed escapism from the current tough economy — for the audiences and the cast!
