our Rancho Bernardo Business Association prepares for
RB's 50th Anniversary in 2012.
Rancho Bernardo will be 50 years old in 2012 and the Rancho Bernardo Business
Association is sponsoring a celebration that will be unmatched in the history of the
community.

The day-long event will have a circus theme with such acts as fire-eaters, acrobats,
tight-rope walkers, stilt walkers and clowns, as well as band music. It will be held in
Webb Park on Saturday, September 22, 2012. A motor show featuring antique and
exotic cars and motorcycles is also anticipated.

Area restaurants and other food service providers will be asked to contribute to a
free picnic for residents.

“We are inviting the presidents of 20 service, civic, and other organizations to join
us as cosponsors,” said Larry McIntyre, president of the business association.
“We are also seeking sponsors for the event,” he said.

Organizations that co-sponsored RB’s 45th birthday celebration were Joslyn Center
of RB (now the Ed Brown Senior Center), Kiwanis Club, Lion’s Club, RB Community
Council, RB Community Foundation, RB Hall of Fame, RB Historical Society, RB
Recreation Council, RB Rotary Club, RB Republican Women Federated, S.D. North
Chamber of Commerce, S.D. North Character Counts, Seniors Helping Our Kids,
The Soroptimist Club, Spirit of the Fourth, and Sunrise Rotary Club.

“We are fortunate to have Marty Judge, vice president of our association, chair the
event, as he did for the highly successful 45th birthday celebration,” McIntyre said.

“Planning for the 45th birthday celebration began six months before the event,
which limited its scope considerably,” said Judge. “We began planning the 50th last
year so we expect spectacular entertainment and record-breaking crowds.”

Organizations and individuals who would like to volunteer to help or to sponsor the
event may contact April Mitchell of the RB Business Association at 858-451-3406
