Last year they had over 2,500 runners and this year promises to be even bigger. The race has become well known for a professionally managed event with chip timing, personalized race bibs and many other amenities you’d expect at much bigger races for a low price of only $25. In addition, there are other spiffs, such as a HeadSweats runners hat, DryFit Race Shirts and other items that are only available for a limited time during the registration leading up to the race. The race benefits the Talbert Family Foundation, a local charity dedicated to helping families with members battling cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Many of the families use the race as a fund raiser and it is truly an inspiration to see them out on the course and meet with them in their booths in the expo area pre and post race. The expo area is designed as a lifestyle event with many different vendors and also provides pre and post race refreshment for the racers. http://www.CalabasasClassic.com Red Tricycle’s Recommendations for the Best Food Carts for Kids http://www.redtri.com/los-angeles/los-angeles-best-food-carts-for-kids The Crayon Box “pARTies” Get a group of friends together (from 3 years-old to adults) for arts and crafts parties in the comfort of your own home.

BIG IDEA: Identity and Diversity TMZ for KIDZ Stop hearing the kewlest, hottest gossip from somebody else, and get it straight from the source: TMZ for KIDZ! The term “Tween Maga Zine” originated in 1995, but TMZforKIDZ gives it a 21st century twist. You can feel the attitude in the way the logo reverses the letter Z – as well as the letters T and M. You can sense the sensibilities in the reporting – they don’t back away from any story that kidz are interested in, no matter how explosive it might be. And you can smell their honesty – that’s why tweens and teens today know that no other website gives it to ’em straight like they do. They are changing the way tweens and teens get their news. www.tmzforkidz.com Black Garlic. Who knew?
