Many kids were bundled up for Saturday night's Movie Night, staged by the Rancho Murieta Association. It was a family-friendly gathering that drew between 150 and 200 people to a pleasantly brisk Lake Clementia Amphitheater. Pre-movie, the adults socialized as the kids danced and ran around, and many picnicked. The movie was "Ferdinand," an animated story of a young bull who'd rather sniff flowers than fight. Read more » Read more » about A movie night for the whole family

Blankets dotted the slopes, picnics were unpacked, and Murietans were ready to party when the music returned to Lake Clementia Amphitheater Saturday night. The veteran musicians of Bad Company tribute band 10 From 6 launched the Entertainment, Theatre & Culture summer concert series with a rock-solid repertoire of ‘70s and ‘80s hits. The group, named for a 1985 Bad Company greatest-hits album, connected with the crowd and had them dancing in front of the stage to “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” “All Right Now,” “Silver, Blue & Gold,” “Can’t Get Enough,” “Bad Company” and more, for an auspicious beginning for another ETC season.

But by Monday, Memorial Day, the forecast calls for a high of 93. Here's the park's schedule and hours. Read more » Read more » about Spray park will open for season on Friday

The Amgen Tour of California zipped past Rancho Murieta Thursday afternoon, briefly delighting a crowd of Murietans at the South Gate intersection who had arrived on foot, in golf carts and by bike. As the race drew near, the crowd included some inadvertent spectators – motorists stopped on Murieta South Parkway to keep Jackson Road clear for the cyclists. Waiting wasn’t an issue for the children in the crowd, who thrilled to the sight of police patrol cars and motorcycles. One little girl asked her mother if it was a motorcycle and bicycle race. An advance vehicle prepared spectators for the brevity of the event by greeting everyone and encouraging them to say “whoosh.” And that pretty much described the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sight of a hundred-plus cyclists flying by.
