The City of Santa Clarita’s Transit division is teaming up this summer with local businesses to offer students a Summer Bus Passport for the month of July. The Passport is a new student bus pass with benefits, and was created to allow Santa Clarita Valley students a summer experience using public transportation.
The Summer Bus Passport is a low-cost, month-long bus pass, specifically designed for Santa Clarita youth. The Passport not only provides the opportunity for a summer transportation experience, but also comes with numerous discounts and special offers for the Passport holders at businesses located throughout the community.

Filed Under Entertainment | Leave a Comment
It’s time again for the Valley Fair (San Fernando Valley Fair) which was moved up here last year to the Saugus Speedway. The fair starts 6/26 and goes through 6/29.
There will be some old time music at the fair in the form of Ambrosia and Juice Newton (of Angel of the Morning fame).
In addition there will be cars from the MTV show Pimp My Ride for spectators to admire and over 100 vendor booths with tons of great food I’m sure.
For more information you can go to the fair website here.

As the defending national champs made the drive to Corona today to play Santiago in the semi-finals, they knew they had a chance to beat Corona two years in a row on their home field. They did just that. Jessica Spigner came up with a two run home run in her first at bat with a 2-0 count and then ripped another shot in her second at bat off the first pitch. The final score was 3-2 and the Vikings will face Simi Valley in the Finals this weekend in Irvine.
Check out the last out with two runners on.
Good luck to the Lady Vikings!!!
