Are you ready to take a spin? The Montanoso Recreation Center is inviting you to hop on its new spin bikes during this free Demo Week through October 1.

Do those hay-stuffed figures that are placed in fields to keep fowl and fauna out ever appear in Mission Viejo? You bet. Every Halloween, scarecrows become standard lawn décor but this year, they will take over Mission Viejo.
The City will place more than 50 scarecrows in public places throughout the community and is seeking nonprofit organizations – churches, scouts, schools and charities – to make a scarecrow for the chance to win a cash prize courtesy of the Friends of the Arts.

The October 6 deadline is quickly approaching for your chance to nominate a hero for Male and Female Veterans of the Year. These are folks who bravely served our country and continue to serve our community by giving back. Indeed, they are heroes.
