More than 1,500 people throughout the community gather every year at this event prepared by the Community Events Committee of the Foundation of Grand Terrace. This year, it will be held Saturday, June 4 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its regular location, Richard Rollins Community Park. Local service organizations, Colton Joint Unified School District (CJUSD), safe communities and businesses will work together with the city to promote the theme of “Safety & Disaster Preparedness: Ready, Set, Safe!” in support of Healthier GT.
